Perfect stay. I mean, absolutely perfect. I was traveling with my immediate family and my brother joined us. That’s three adults and then 6 “kids” from ages 12 to 19. This location was amazing for us.
We wanted private and relaxing. The house is on a quiet street, in a quiet neighborhood. We respected the pool hours and never had a complaint or heard a peep from the neighbors.
But you don’t have to live secluded to have the privacy. We still have the convenience of a nice and clean grocery store that was close enough to walk to, and plenty of gas stations and food options — all less than 10 minutes away. There is quick highway access. We went to a sporting event at the new football stadium — took us less than 15 minutes to get there.
Clean, clean, clean. Our son does have a disability and is sensitive to disease, so we have been VERY careful about cleanliness with the ongoing pandemic. We have stayed at one of Eddie and Michelle’s properties so we had high expectations — this property did not disappoint. Everything was clean. No bugs, no dirt. The beds had comfortable clean sheets and both the bath and pool towels were plentiful and comfortable.
Highs were around 105*F for our stay. The pool was a perfect temperature. The inside of the house we had the AC comfortably set at 75*F and never felt uncomfortable. The house has plenty of ceiling fans and extra plug in fans to keep the air moving and/or provide white noise. The fridge and freezer works like a charm. All of our food and ice cream stayed nice and cold. Our pro tip for stays like this is to keep most of the drinks in a cooler with ice. The drinks get colder faster and stay colder longer.
Entertainment. For. Days. My kids couldn’t figured out what they liked the best. Maybe it was the pool. The pictures do it no justice. It is massive. It has deep parts and shallow parts to accommodate everyone. There are two shelves, a couple of ledges, a spa, and a cove behind the waterfall where you can sit and talk with friends. The deep end is perfect for the diving board, cliff jumping, and the slide. It is like having a hotel resort-sized pool … in your backyard … to yourself. Best. Pool. Ever.
My kids also loved the poker/slot machine/blackjack game. Hours and hours of fun. They would get out of the pool, dry off, and head to the pool table. We were up until 2 and 3 AM almost every night having poker tournaments. My kids put down their phones for HOURS and were laughing and talking all night long, hand after hand. Memories we will have for years to come.
I’m sure I’m leaving things out. The TVs are amazing. All SmartTVs. So smart, that dummies like me had no problems figure out how to stream all of our shows. (But honestly we didn’t use them much because we were playing poker or swimming.) Don’t hesitate. Stay here. (Just leave a week for us to come every year.)
