Private Tennis Court and Professional Staff Made this Trip One of our Best Ever!!
We spent a week at Fairway Manor with four adults and seven teenagers - all competitive tennis players. We had more fun playing pickle ball (some matches going until 1:30 am) than we've all ever had on a court! The house is exquisite with ample places to relax alone with a book or play board games (Taboo being our fav) with the whole gang. As other reviewers have noted, one of the best parts of the house was the staff. We thought initially we would eat out most often at the Half Moon Bay Club. After one meal there, however, we realized Charles, our chef, could prepare better meals for lower cost. Half Moon Bay has a lovely pool and beach area and the kids did take part in some of the water sports, but we spent more time at the house than anywhere. We were there during the hottest part of the year so it's hard to complain about the house being hot, but it was hot in the main parts of the house. We found we got used to it after a day. Everything is open so if you are used to central AC get ready to sweat. That said, the bedrooms have AC and once we got the hang of keeping doors and drapes closed we were plenty cool sleeping. Speaking of the bedrooms, each one is beautifully decorated with custom drapes and bedding and bright tiled showers. Roy is the consummate professional. He was accommodating and smiled constantly, no matter how many times we changed plans. Don't miss the opportunity to golf at Half Moon Club. Their caddies are talented and funny.
