We traveled to Florida for my brother's celebration of life. It was so nice to have a place for us all to be together with plenty of space and conveniences. Having a bathroom for every bedroom is a big perk, and we enjoyed sitting out back every evening. We were able to view a rocket launch to the ISS from the front porch. Thank you. I would certainly go back to stay for vacation as well. Also, we had a big rainstorm while we were there, and there was an umbrella in the garage, as well as extra chairs for the back porch.
