Perfect size
There were seven of us and three children, 13, 10 and 4. The house was the perfect size, and we particularly enjoyed the private patio, which had a hose to wash remaining sand off our feed before entering the house. The kitchen was a good size and had nice appliances. After some confusion as to whether we needed parking passes, Bill called me to straighten out the mixed emails and all was well after that.
