We had my 9month old grandson with us who was delighted by the friendly ducks who came up to say hello in the backyard early in the morning. We went for early morning walks along the walkway behind the homes and watched the sunrise as boats headed out on the waterways. Everything we needed was available in the home with ample heating on those cool nights. Shopping for groceries was only a 10 minute drive away. We will most definitely be back again.
