Pictures did not do it justice. It was so nicely appointed. All you would need is there. It is warm, inviting and comfortable . The patio and pool area (with floats, toys, plenty of seating ) and a grill. The location is also very good. It is near Rotary Park(I walked there each morning). grocery store and anything else you would need is just a short drive. Absolutely lovely neighborhood. Jeff and Susie were the best. Touched base with us the morning after we arrived. Check out was the best I have ever experienced. Easy Peasy! Thank you so much Happy Pelican for a wonderful week. We will return. ##### patty h.
