Nice property. Quiet neighborhood. Space for all of us. The back yard outdoor space was well used! Thank You to Ron for heating the pool for our babies. We all LOVED the pool and the hot tub. Everything except your clothes is there. Beach towels, pool toys were very much appreciated. The pack and play was a huge bonus. We all agreed we would stay again! Thanks for letting us stay!!
