Pool was awesome! Everything was perfect except no AC in main kitchen & living room. Exterior stairs to get up/down, so don't recommend for families with little ones. Sliding doors down are really hard to open. Loved the pool table and setup downstairs. Entire home is great - we loved it. Just needs AC up and interior staircase. Outside was a dream! Our adult kids had a blast!
