Great family reunion
Overall, we enjoyed staying at the house this week. The main kitchen was very nice and the location was great (right on the beach with a nice pool and fantastic ocean views). Aside from a few minor issues, the biggest challenge was operating the elevator, which was surprisingly finicky. Jim was responsive and helpful.
