An amazing house for any group size. Each room having a king bed was a huge plus. Pool was great and the house comes with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Grocery store very close by. Golf courses nearby. My whole group loved it.

Thank you for the kind review. We enjoyed hosting your group.
We had a wonderful time- the property was even better than the online listing photos! The large dining tables both indoor and outdoor were helpful and our hosts even thoughtfully provided a small table for the kids!! The attention to details (down to the makeup remover wipes) were amazing and so helpful for those small things that you tend to forget at home!! Would definitely book again!!!

Wow, thank you for the wonderful review! We enjoyed hosting your group, and would love to have you back. Please come again!
This was a great stay. The photos were realistic and accurate. The house was well situated in a neighborhood and close to a lot of amenities. The whole family was comfortable with lots to do at the house.
We had a group of 24 adults and there was plenty of comfortable space for everyone. The large kitchen and dining spaces inside and out, were incredible. There wasn’t a kitchen item we could come up with that could be added, it had absolutely everything we wanted. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. The outdoor space was a show stopper and where we enjoyed lots of great pool time relaxing on the rafts available. Everyone voted to come back again asap! Thank you Doug and Kelli for great communication and to Paul for making check-in and house orientation a breeze!

Wow, Susan, thank you for the wonderful review! We enjoyed hosting your group, and hope you do decide to come back. Thanks for being excellent guests!
We stayed for four nights with large family and 4 generations. There was something for everyone to enjoy. (Pool, hot tub, putting green, ping pong, air hockey, pool table…) The fire pits were great at night. Loved huge dining table for all of us to sit around. Used grill and Blackstone in the backyard.My dad described it like being on a cruise. We had access to everything we needed and didn’t have to go anywhere.
