We absolutely loved this house. It’s in a great location close to some shops to walk around and the water in the back was gorgeous. Very relaxing. My kids loved walking down to the water, there’s even enough yard for the kids to run around. The backyard had beautiful sunsets. House was very clean with enough room for everyone. Would definitely stay again
