Everything you could possibly need was provided and it was beautifully decorated. So much room for everyone! Our kids loved the pool, hot tub and outdoor eating area as well as the proximity to town where we had many fun adventures. They didn’t want to leave! Understandable, who would want to leave paradise?

Quickly planned family trip!

Family wanted an end of summer trip, so we found this big house and it worked out great! For two nights, there were 12 of us and they surprised us with a 50th Anniversary celebration on the large backyard covered deck. The house is older, but kept up well. With the 6 bedrooms, there were lots of comfortable bed choices. Kids loved the pool. The two living room areas with large TV’s were a nice option for such a large group. Owner was quick to respond to problems or questions. I prefer to be able to look out at the water since I spend most of my time in the house, but the family was content to walk or drive to the beach and town. Ate at Cranes Pies, and my favorite Clementines. All had an enjoyable time!

Weekend fun

Very nice Victorian era home. Everything worked as listed. It was reminiscent of our grandparents home where we grew up, but had lots of modern amenities as well:) Loved the garage “fun box” and corn hole boxes, bikes and wagon. Quiet neighborhood with lots of area homes undergoing refurbishment. Would recommend to a friend and would stay again. Maybe winter?

Awesome Beach Home!!!

Had an amazing time hanging out with family. It was the perfect home for a large group, spacious and there was something fun for the whole family to enjoy. We especially enjoyed the game room with fooseball and air hockey. It was easy to walk to both the beach and downtown. Easy communication with the hosts. We definitely will be back!
