This was an ideal setting for my family of 7 ( my 2 adult children, their partners, and my two grandchildren). The pool was beautiful and set at a comfortable temperature. The kids spent hours swimming and their parents enjoyed being in the pool as well! The deck also has a nice large BBQ that we used to grill our dinners most nights. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and dishes. It is a nice set up such that several of us were able to prepare meals together. The table seats 8 comfortably and the countertop with stools for 4 made it possible for me to invite my sister and brother-in-law for dinner too. We were able to enjoy playing board games at the table. When we lost power for a short time, Sheila answered her phone right away and was going to reach out to her electrician. As it turned out, the electricity came back on shortly afterward. Cell service in the area was intermittent for Verizon, and not working for ATT phones. However the internet worked well in the house. This is a comfortable house which worked out very well for us.
