The house is beautiful and fully equipped with everything you can ask for - kitchen is very well stocked. Having been to many properties over the years, it's always a crap shoot on what is provided and this property has everything you need including plenty of storage container for your leftovers. There are fantastic and plenty of chairs throughout all the decks and pool area, with a very large umbrella for afternoon shade. Plenty of games - ping pong, bumper pool inside, and corn hole for the outside (there were more, but we didn't use the others). Board games galore, and the Wii was a hit for our kids. Recommend the golf cart - easy to use for the Food Lion next door and across the street shopping too. Overall - this was a great week and we will definitely come back! Only wish we could have stayed for 10 days! ##### Amy W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025
