We enjoyed the backyard area very much. It was perfect for the children and grandchildren. During our stay it stormed every day, flooding in the area although we had no flooding around us. We were able to jump in the pool and use the water slide every time the sun came out! We enjoyed having the space in the house for the young ones to explore. The neighborhood was very family friendly. The backyard is beautiful and pleasant. We will definitely be back! The only change I would say is needed is to the televisions. If it wasn't for the rain though, we probably wouldn't have watched as much tv!
