We enjoyed having the water in the back yard and amenities. We brought our own fishing rods but there were some there along with several sized kid and adult life jackets. There was lots of decor and knick knacks around the house which was enticing to the kids, and we had to redirect them from playing with all of the statues and sand/shells. Otherwise, very kid friendly and some toys/activities were provided to the kids. No dishwasher which we expected, but we also found that we had to wash some of the dishes first before using as previous guests must not have cleaned them well when hand washing. Many kitchen tools, pans/pots, and utensils available for cooking, which was very convenient. The drawers seemed a bit disorganized from previous renters. Overall, check in and check out was very easy and it was perfect for our weekend getaway with friends to enjoy time together. Would recommend!
