The yard is very special with lots of places to sit in sun and shade. There are special corners to enjoy the avocado trees, but watch out for sunrise and sunset hours when mosquitoes come out (there was repellant provided which was very nice). The kids enjoyed the wii, and the beds were very comfortable. Parts of the house did not have air vents, so got quite hot, so we used the fans provided. Need new dining room chairs. Overall sweet spot and great host.
