Excellent Stay

We are a family of 4 adults and two children 18 month old and 7 year old … We all enjoyed our stay.. The downstairs and the main bedroom are spacious .. The layout is excellent for families .. The bedroom listed as having a queen bed was small for 2 adults and its size was like a double ..The main bedroom is large and very comfortable .. The only suggestion I have is to put a door for privacy that leads to the bathroom!The house was well stocked with kitchen appliances, utensils and cookware .. It was unexpected to have baskets of toys, games and books for children which was greatly appreciated .. The location was fantastic with a small lovely part and a short walk from the park to a quiet pretty beach…Kendall and Potter management company were very responsive and gave clear and in depth instructions .. We enjoy a return visit in the future ..

Great Location

This home is located just a short walk away from the beach. It is very spacious with a nice living room, patio and a large master bedroom. The home was great for 6 of us ranging in age from 13-76. The only odd thing is there is no bathroom door on the Master bath and no kleenex... not a a big deal but something to know.

Holiday gathering

The location was a little challenge to find but thanks to navigation systems we finally found the place. Nice and quiet setting, Touchkey pad entrance was wonderful until we accidentally got locked out but a quick call to the management company and we resolved the issue. Very spacious place and the dining table was marvelous! Kitchen was great, bedrooms comfy. One of the bedrooms needs a dresser to put cloths as it had none. The step to the living room is deeper than standard steps and so is the bottom step of the front entrance. Once you know it, you are ok but it could be an unhappy surprise if you are not watching. Overall, we really liked the place and it is just up from the ocean,

The house was perfect for a weekend getaway, clean and comfortable for 4 adults and 2 teenagers, with a short walk down a pathway to the beach and a park with a play structure. The house is about 5 minutes away from coffee shops, grocery stores and restaurants. Definitely would stay here again.

Good place for families

Convenient to a good beach with additional benefit of a nice park on the way. House well supplied (but only one dish towel), communication with management excellent, but living room carpet in serious need of cleaning. The carpet is so dirty that all of our feet were black from walking in that room. Management overall excellent - we will try to book through them in the future.

The house was good. It wasnt as close to beach as advertised. We are responsible, the rules were overboard. The 10 am checkout really hard with a family.
