Loved this house! Great time for a long weekend vacay with large group of friends. Plenty of room for a large group, good size bedrooms, spent majority of time relaxing on front porch watching golf! House is well stocked and had everything we needed! (My favorite surprise was 2 large bags of ice in freezer when we arrived! I’m always disappointed when the ice maker isn’t turned on prior to arrival so this was a great happy surprise! It’s the little things!!) Will definitely stay again!
