This is the perfect property for a large group of people. We had a total of 15 people stay and it was great to be able to all fit in one space. Having the large pool all to ourselves was the best, especially with having little ones with us. The pool had a shallow and deep end (no diving board), and it fit all of us comfortably.
This rental is downtown, but we felt very safe the whole week we were there.
Morgan, the property manager, was very helpful with any questions I had prior and during our stay. We did not have any major issues that arose that required fixing while we were there.
The pool guy (forgot his name) does live on the property but his living space is inside the building with the garage, which is separate from the main house and pool house. We only saw him a few times and that was while he was cleaning the pool. He was super friendly and nice!
Other than that, we had the property all to ourselves.
It would have been nice to have a separate drink fridge, even just a small dorm-size one, in the main house as the fridge was not big enough to hold everything we needed. There was a separate fridge in the pool house, which isn't that far from the main house, but we only had one person staying in that spot and did not use the kitchen.
Two things we recommend you put on your must-see list while in Joplin is the Precious Moments Chapel/Museum and Grand Falls (make sure to have good water shoes). You will not be disappointed!
