Liked: Cleanliness
The house was clean a nice place to stay. We were there in September, and the pool was not heated, so be aware of that. That didn't matter to my group. My only comment is that they had several plug in scent units around the first floor, and that smell was a bit too much for some of us, so we unplugged them while we were there. Problem solved.
