We are a bi-coastal family (LA and NY) and like to get together for several weeks in the summer. Carol’s house was a perfect place for everyone to relax and reconnect and for the cousins (8-6-5-2) to bond. The house itself is comfortable and inviting. The kitchen is large and fully stocked with dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, spices. Everything is exactly where you would expect to find it. There are several dining and living areas, so groups can gathers together or spread out individually. The bedrooms have plenty of linens and towels; all of the bathrooms are nicely renovated. Oh, and there is even a closet filled with board games and another with craft materials.
The grounds are very, very private and offer so many activities that our little grandkids thought they were at a fantastic camp with their grandparents and parents as counselors. The tennis court is in perfect shape and also has lines for pickleball and a basketball hoop. In addition, the property has lighted bocce court, a horseshoe court, a large trampoline, a fishing pond and several hiking trails. For our family, though, the definite highlight was the well-maintained pool. Two kids learned to swim and everyone took tennis lessons with PopPop. I have so much more to say, but the VRBO app is about to shut me down. Know that Carol is a lovely and responsive host. This property was an excellent fit for our family. Everyone was sad to leave after our three weeks. We hope to return in the future.
