A fun time was had by all
There were 15 of us (nine adults and 6 children - ages 3-9) in this house. It was perfect. One family did not join us, so I am unsure of how it would have felt with another 3 adults and 2 children. The dining room table would comfortably fit 12 people although we shared the table with 13, just fine. We were planning on using the outdoor dining if there were to be 20 people in the house, but as it turned out, it was too humid to enjoy eating outdoors. The two youngest sat at the counter/island which worked out great. The seats are high enough for them to reach the countertop and were curved so that they would not fall out. As I read in another review that there were not enough children's dinnerware, I brought some of my own, knowing we had 6 children. It would be nice to have some plastic/outdoor cups and plates to take out onto the patio. (We brought some of our own disposable/reusable cups.) There were plenty of nice dishes, glasses and cutlery for the group of us. Lots of pots, pans, and knives. We bought a dishrack/drainer as none was provided. Our two slice toaster was smoking, so it was promptly replaced with a 4 slice toaster. We had a couple of other issues: the a/c in the theatre room, the projector and a burnt out lightbulb, but they were all attended to very quickly with one phone call. (impressive). There were lots of bath towels but not enough hand towels and no bath mats. We brought some of our own pool towels but the washer and dryer came in very handy.
The kids loved the games area upstairs. Adults loved the hot tub.
The negative: We paid to rent the BBQ. It was not in great shape. I think it is there all the time - not a rental company as was implied. It also ran out of propane. The location is a little far from the community recreation area - especially on a hot day.
Suggestions: A bigger or extra fridge would mean we don't have to go grocery shopping everyday. Wine glasses that fit in the dishwasher would also be great and a little stool so that kids can reach the sink in the bathroom. Also the carpet in the living room could use a good cleaning. That being said, overall we had a great vacation as we were finally able to get together as a family and there was plenty to keep everyone happy!
