The kids loved the water and all the space to run in the yard and the adults enjoyed the fire pit, tennis courts and cozy living area/kitchen. Excellent property and will definitely be back for more stays. Had a few questions for the host during the stay and he was able to respond within minutes. Great experience overall! ##### Sean H.
