We had a very big family gathering and this house offers plenty of space . We loved sitting in the backyard . If you are planning to cook you may want to bring some pots and pans, only a couple there that could definitely be replaced. Also extra towels/washcloths ect and blankets. There are no extra blankets and few linens. She had amazing pool towels though! Lucy is amazing with communication and was pleasant to talk to. Thank you
