Perfect
We were a group of soccer moms (and one dad) there for a few days for a tournament. This house was everything we could have wanted! Clean, well appointed, excellent location, I can't say enough!Nights in the pool with the magical lighting was probably one of the highlights for our group. Easy drive to IMG for the tournament, easy drive to groceries and Target, easy drive to AMI.The dining table on the Lanai was exactly what we needed for the large group to eat together.
