We were more than happy with property which was certainly as good as we expected.Some small observations:limited rolls of paper towelscutlery was poor qualitylimited bowls for serving foodAccess to tub/tennis area not available through grounds (only by driveway) and was not identified in brochure with clarity. The tub would be so much more convenient local to the house particularly during an off season rent.
