Very clean and well maintained. Loved the screened porches both front and back. Enjoyed the large screen TV and reclining chairs after a full day in the sun. Came equipped with natural product options (soap, dishwasher pods) and had plenty of paper good refills on hand. Enjoyed the updated refrigerator with dual ice makers. Close access to nearby pool. Jessie was responsive to needs with quick communication. Would definitely stay here again when we come back to visit family.
