"We had a wonderful time - the house was perfect for our group. The kids (and adults) loved the pool and the temperature was prefect. We had bonfires out by the water almost every night - it was so peaceful. The kids LOVE the nighttime frogs that come out and leap onto the windows to catch bugs!! My son wanted to take a few home with us on the plane!! Thank you some much for loaning us your home - it made for a wonderful vacation!!"
