We LOVE this place!

This house was perfect for us! So cozy and comfy with the perfect amount of amenities. The fenced backyard was perfect for relaxing with quick access to the outdoor shower (which was amazing) and bar area. The house was well stocked with paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap, spices, towels, wash cloths, etc. The only thing I would add to this home would be a fan in the screened in areas. We had battery powered fans so it wasn't unbearable, but we would spent almost the entire day out there if there would have been a large fan.
