The first words out of my sister-in-law's mouth when she say the house were "why isn't this my house?". We had a great stay at Kathy's place. The house was bright and cheerfully decorated. The kitchen was well-stocked with every imaginable gadget. The outside patio was perfect for lunch. Having a bathroom attached to each bedroom was super-convenient. It was nice to have one bedroom on the ground floor, as knee problems made stairs hard for one member of our group. Our only difficulty was that the upstairs level got substantially warmer than the first floor, so we had some disagreement about where to set the thermometer, but that was pretty minor. Bonus, we were there at Christmas time and the neighborhood had lots of nice light displays to drive through. We didn't check out the pool, but Kathy left us a key so that we could have.
