Very nice house with lots of room. We only used the downstairs bedrooms, but the second floor would be great for older kids.We also rented the available golf cart to get to the beach very quickly - that was both fun and efficient. The house had beach chairs and lots of other equipment.I would definitely recommend this house and we would stay there again!

Perfect getaway to relax.

What a relaxing atmosphere! Just what we were looking for. We especially enjoyed the front porch in the mornings and evenings. Watching deer was a treat. The golf cart was a terrific benefit to get to the beach, touring the village, and watching wildlife. Alex was the perfect host.

Excellent stay

My husband, myself, and our three kids stayed with two family members in this home. The home is beautiful and very well stocked. The furniture and beds were comfortable. We loved sitting on the porch and enjoying a fire with the wood provided. The golf cart was a must have for taking things back and forth from the beach. The neighborhood is peaceful, beautiful and easily walkable. There are several walking trails that we enjoyed and a couple of playground areas in the neighborhood. Highly recommend this beautiful home.
