One of, if not our favorite place in the area! Bring a boat and it really gets fun. The kids loved the downstairs. This property made it really easy to keep them busy and having fun outside. I think the only thing we had an issue with was the ac had a hard time keeping up but we had a lot of traffic in and out of the house. Super cool neighbors and a very quiet neighborhood. It’s worth the money!
