Beautiful!!!

Colleen74 Bronx, NY
Review Submitted: August 18, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We just got back and the house is amazing! There is nothing you need to bring except food! The place is immaculate and there is more than enough room for a family of 4 or 5 (maybe more but it was just the 2 of us). We definately want to go back next year for 2 weeks!

The area is beautiful and there is plenty to do, even when it rains! We miss it a lot and can't wait to go back again.
