Everything was exactly as described. The house was located far enough to be away from things...but close enough to get around with a car. Kids didn't want to go anywhere as they were too busy swimming multiple times a day during the 100+ degree summer days.
Karen was very clear in expressing her concerns around restriction / concerns from the home owner association. To me, they were very reasonable / common sense that I felt compliance wasn't an issue (e.g. no parking on streets, quiet period overnight).
