We stayed in this house for a week and found it to be a good middle-ground for everything we wanted to do! Not only was it very clean and nice, but it was in a really nice area with a beautiful view. It was just as advertised and we cannot wait to visit again and stay here. If you're looking for a house fit for 8 or 9 this is perfect! I would recommend buying your food at Costco or target when you arrive as it can get pretty expensive!
