There are 2 masters with ensuites, and 2 other bedrooms with a variety of beds. 4 full baths is a huge bonus in a big house. The kitchen was equipped extremely well with lots of utensils, pots, pans etc. You could easily cook whatever you wanted here. Plenty of plates, cups, glasses, and silverware too. The pool is enormous in comparison to other vacation homes. I have stayed in hotels with smaller pools.
