Speaking of the pool, our serene oasis is the ultimate spot for family fun! Take a refreshing dip, soak up the sun on comfortable loungers, or enjoy a book under the umbrella in this private retreat.

The screened enclosure keeps pesky bugs at bay, allowing you to fully enjoy your pool paradise. The excitement continues in the game room/family room, where laughter and friendly competition await! Challenge each other to classic arcade games like Pac-Man and Frogger or engage in thrilling foosball and air hockey.

The house was great! We would definitely stay again. The pool was awesome, the space was great. My in laws went with us and it was nice to have them on one side of the house and us in the other bedroom with the baby so it wouldn't interrupt them if the baby woke up in the middle of the night. The binder they left with places to eat was a great resource! Honestly, 10/10.

Absolutely beautiful house

This house is exactly like the pictures. Beautiful, roomy, clean, and just amazing. The entire family enjoyed it. The game room was just perfect for the kids and to keep them busy. Beautiful clean pool. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because there was a pool vacuum in the pool 24/7 and became somewhat annoying and in the way of enjoying the pool. Could not swim across the pool as the vaccum hose would go across the pool. If it wasn’t for that, this house would be “PERFECT”

Our anniversary

The property was very clean and comfortable. Our only issue was that we paid ahead of time for the pool to be heated, We arrived on Saturday and left on Sunday. We arrived at 6 pm and the pool wasn't heated. We contacted staff and they sent someone out the next morning. All in all it was a great stay. Our only issue was that we wanted the pool heated as soon as we arrived and we didn't have that luxury.
