Small Tropical Getaway

Sportymom038 in Bakersfield, CA

My hubby and I have a very narrow and long backyard. (21 feet from patio) Except for the pool, we did EVERYTHING ourselves. We wanted a tropical getaway and with our hot climate that is a little hard. Through trial and error and 5 years of growth this is what we have.....enjoy

Nice but it looks more like a 4 star hotel than a home.
