My family and I were looking for a place to take our summer vacation that offered all of the amenities that we look for: a tub for mom to soak, double shower, king size beds, no a/c degree limit, pet friendly, separate master bedroom, reasonable fees and price and a wow factor. This year we also wanted a private pool. This beautiful home had all of these, and we thoroughly enjoyed our 4-day vacation!
The beds were the most comfortable we have ever slept on. The A/C worked better than mine at home! The water was hot and the refrigerator was cold upon arrival. The home was clean and tidy. Sparely decorated but I actually like it this way, less distractions and simple. The stairs well, it is what it is on that one; a little exercise is good for you!
The neighborhood may look rough and tough but in actuality it is just a poorer neighborhood with really hardworking, decent people. I am a lifelong survivor of abuse, and I did not feel uncomfortable here and alone with my kids with my husband commuting to and from work. We were fine. Actually, while sitting on the front balcony of the house, my daughter and I noticed a daily occurrence of a son walking his momma to and from the store to get ice-cream everyday around 3:30; All the while carrying her purse. One day it was three purses! Please remember the old saying, "Never judge a book by it's cover." This certainly applies to the surrounding neighborhood of this lovely home.
My family and I will be back and most likely this year too! This home is exactly what we needed to come together as a family. We played hide and seek in the house (all the nooks and crannies were perfect for this) and family games at the table under the massive, ornate chandelier. My children actually unplugged and hung out with mom and dad. This place brought us together again as a family. We so needed this with all of the crazy in our life.
Thank you Lea for having my family in your home! We will be back to create more wonderful and lasting memories!
