Steve's home was absolutely family friendly, as we were traveling with a 4 year old and a nine month old. One level, lots of crawling around space. The backyard and deck were spectacular, and there were so many bathrooms (3), as we needed to get ready for a wedding and no one was hindered by "I need the bathroom now!"Checking in is exactly at the time you are scheduled to arrive. We were twenty minutes early and could not get in until the designated time, so if you are early, find something to do until check in time. We panicked at first, because we could not get in, BUT, in all fairness we were early. The only drawback of concern for us when we arrived was that the garbage barrels ere full (looked like the last renters partied pretty hard) and made a lot of garbage. We were a little worried we would have not place to put our trash. However, Friday or Saturday was collection time and it was all good after that, so don't worry if those barrels are full.Lots to do close to this house, and lots of great restaurants. If you are looking for a comfortable home that will not drain your pocketbook, this house fits the bill. Highly recommend it. Thank you, Steve.
