Beautiful home with so many wonderful antiques and charming appointments. Spacious rooms. Large dining table with many chairs. So many places to gather. A delightful breezeway with ceiling fans and comfortable wicker chairs and loveseats. Many outdoor seating spots and a lovely front porch to gather. We loved the golf cart supplied to go out each night to dinner. Also, the wonderfully landscaped homes in the area were so much fun to drive by.

The house is beautiful. It reminds you of the 1800’s Homes that you would pay to tour. However you are also afraid to use the furniture. The beds creak and you can see where the repairs are. The living room couch has a cement block in place of the middle leg and the coffee table is so wobbly that you don’t want to set anything on it for fear it will break. The outdoor furniture is wicker that is shredding all over. The refrigerator was dirty and the microwave has a tendency to blow the switch every other time it’s used. They do send out someone very quickly for any issues that you might have. It is a wonderful, beautiful home just not comfortable to stay in.
