This home was great. Not secluded by any means but the yard and the porch are surrounded by live oak and other beautiful trees. This lends to a serene surrounding both on the front and back porch. There is also a deck off the kitchen that is screened in awith a teak table, playing cards, playing catchphrase and wearing ourselves out mattresses are comfortable
