This place is everything we imagined it to be for my family. My kids fell in love with this place. My wife absolutely loved it from the moment she walked into the house. ##### Brian H. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa S. 13 Apr 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Framily Getsway Loved the home it’s very pretty, well laid out for different at age, allows for large groups to cook, individuals to find space to relax and overall property is maintained very well. We were a little disappointed with the lack of cleanliness we understand it’s a huge house and probably takes a while to flip after each guest ; found a sock and garment in and under bed, mold in vents and shower walls and trash in dryer from prior guest. The outdoor area is grand and makes for lovely evenings poolside and there is enough fridge for storage in the house for 2-3 groups. However due to some seating being worn down we didn’t utilize the living room as much. ##### Melissa S.
