Thank you for your review! We’re thrilled to hear you had an incredible family golf vacation and enjoyed your stay so much. We really appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back in the future!
The house is a great location and nicely appointed. Unfortunately we had no wifi all week. We have stayed here twice so definitely enjoy it. However, I must point out that it would be nice to have a chest of drawers to keep clothes in the large bedroom on the right. Also, we had no instruction manual for the dishwasher, so never could make it work. . Thanks!

We’re very sorry about the WiFi and any inconvenience with the dishwasher instructions — had we known during your stay, we would have been happy to help. We also appreciate your suggestion about adding a chest of drawers. We hope to welcome you back in the future!
