The house was beautiful! Loved all the spaces and the kids definitely enjoyed the pool. The real gem with this house was Mike (the property manager), his communication was great. He would check in occasionally to make sure we were good and handled issues that arose promptly and professionally. He made us feel like we were staying in a 5 star resort! I would stay here again and any property Mike managed!
