There were seven of us and we didn't even use half of the available beds in this house. The kids enjoyed the basketball court. Big kitchen, lots of seating in the common areas, giant TV, high speed internet, and only 2 miles from airport. Host was also able to accommodate a later checkout since the cruise didn't start until later the next day. ##### Andrew L. Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karli R.
