The house was perfect for our family. Grocery stores were all very close. Location was perfect for easy access to the interstate. There was a grill outside and we were able to BBQ. Mattresses were all very good. Living room sectional is showing wear and will need to be replaced but the refrigerator and washer and dryer were new. The yard was well kept and the kids loved the slide and swings in the fenced in yard. Great experience!
