The pool house was a bonus, as this is where the teen boy and his big brother stayed. The rest of the family stayed comfortably in the main house. The kitchen had most all that was needed and the beds were comfy. Big dining table provided plenty of room for our sit down meals. The grill was a nice bonus too. Communication with owner was excellent. If you want to vacation with family, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely book again. ##### Carol C.
