Beds in bedrooms were horrible. If we had anyone over the age of 60 with us we would not been able to stay here. Basketball goal is broken, hot tub was not clean, water was very cloudy. Neighbors were partying on Saturday till after midnight had to call the police twice. Inside of house was clean and furnishings were nice. But again beds were horrible and in my opinion that is the most important part of a vacation home
