My family used this house to gather after not seeing each other for six months. The house was very spacious and the outside pool was fantastic for us all. We also enjoyed the screened in porch and upstairs balcony quite a bit. The layout works great for many people. We did not go anywhere else while we were there and so we did all of our meals at the house. We could have used a few more meal preparation bowls, but overall we did fine. I would definitely recommend the home to anyone and would book it again.
