Our stay exceeded our expectations. From my grandson (21) to my cousin (69) we had an amazing time. Family Traditions gave us all the comforts of home. Spacious kitchen, family room, bathrooms and bedrooms. The laundry and walk-in pantry gave me life! Parking was perfect as well the outdoors living. The pool was so relaxing. Planning another stay soon with the interest of renting other properties including Family Traditions again. . .

Nice house, bring coffee

Overall this is a nice place and we enjoyed our stay. The address doesn't exactly match the location, access is from the road in the rear. There was definitely a shortage of supplies, almost like nobody ever stayed there before - not even coffee filters for the supplied coffeemaker. (although there was TP in the bathrooms and 1 roll of paper towels.) The pool in the back is a shared pool and there was a little noise from swimmers.
