Summary: Our family took full advantage of all the amenities of the house...games,indoor & out,private beach more than adequate cooking facilities. The only downside was the lack of air conditioning & it was a very hot week. Thankfully there were many fans & windows to open. The house is beautiful & we enjoyed being there.
