Booked this house for dad's 70th! Beautiful home, spacious and clean. The kids had the best time in the game room and pool. Everything was so well-stocked, I was really impressed. My two take aways for next time are parking and music. The game room takes up 2 parking spaces as it's set up in the garage. Also, if you're going to have live music (we had Mariachi), book it during the day. A few hiccups along the way but all resolved. Edward was very accommodating and quickly responded to all my messages. Thank you Edward for opening your home to us. By far the best house I've ever booked!
