The pool was very small, but it suited our family of four adults just fine. Because the lanai is east-facing, the sun exposure is limited. We would recommend a few more chaise lounges (2 were situated on the lanai) for use on the dock where sun exposure lasts most of the day.The house was very clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. We had a great time playing cards on the lanai and at the kitchen table. There was ample space for playing games, watching TV, cooking, enjoying each other's company, and just simple relaxing. A great house that we would consider renting again!
