What an amazing house with so many amenities! We loved the pool and outdoor living space. All bedrooms have a full bath. Mitch, the property manager, was awesome and extremely responsive. I highly recommend this property for large groups.
The stay was good. Property was exactly as pictured. Beautiful house. However read the description carefully. There is a noise sensor in and outside the home. Because we were under 25 (most 23 and 22) we had to pay a 500 fee increase we were “too loud”. I got a message from the host saying we had several noise alerts (not from neighbors)! We weren’t any louder than a child play screaming or simply having fun. So if you’re planning on bringing a lot of kids I wouldn’t or have your bachelorette party there. Other than that it was perfect.
