Summary: This place was over the top! It had everything we needed and so much more! Jane was super helpful but never intrusive. The pool was the highlight of our daughterโ€™s vacation. We did have our 3 year old stay in the master with us so she wasnโ€™t on the other side of the pool, but thereโ€™s so much space it wasnโ€™t an issue at all. The grandparents certainly appreciated the privacy (and quiet) of having their room separated from the main house by the courtyard/pool. We canโ€™t wait to go back!
