The size and layout of the house was good and the house was clean. The kitchen appliances met all our needs. The younger kids really enjoyed the pool. Location was convenient to River Walk and the zoo. The pool table was good for the older kids.

We all loved the house! The house had everything a family could need to cook and spend time away from home. If we come back to SA it’ll be our top choice!
