Very nice home with lots of room for large groups. We especially enjoyed the backyard, including the pool and lawn games! The downstairs TV room is really nice too, and perfect for a movie night in! When we had some issues adjusting the air conditioning, the host was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Everything about this place was awesome. The built in sound system ranging through the entire house made out time so much more enjoyable.
