The house was nice itself but there is no cable/satellite tv if you want to watch sports! We also encountered a problem with the showers in the house ( it has to be really hot to get water pressure). Also there was no grill to use at all! That was a huge drawback. If you can live without those 3 things than you’ll be fine.
