Great House, Bad Plumbing

I will start with the good. The property was great. The bedrooms were as described and suited our family just fine. The kitchen was functional and well stocked. The indoor living space was comfortable and I enjoyed schooling my boys at foosball! The outdoor space is where this property shines. It has multiple areas to enjoy. The full bed swing on the upstairs was fun and the main floor deck was used extensively. The other outdoor areas were harder to use because of all the ants/bugs but it is "outsides" so... The boat house and deck were great and got used everyday. All the water toys (kayaks, floaties, deck chairs) were a pleasant surprise. The firepit is huge!! We did use it once but was too hot outside to really enjoy. Okay now the bad, something is off with the plumbing with the house. The pipes would make loud weird noises which were very annoying especially when trying to sleep. We discovered that a majority of the toilets were running constantly which seems to be the cause of the noises. We ended up trying off the water on a couple of the toilets to sleep! Overall everyone had a great time and if the plumbing issues are fixed we would come back!
