House was a great fit for our group. The kids had one wing and adults had the other. Great to congregate and catch up with family we hadn't seen in awhile!

Had a wonderful week here with family. 3 separate families and it was very spacious and laid out so no one felt as if anyone got into anyone’s way. Beautifully decorated. Had plenty of beach equipment/towels for use. Outdoor area was phenomenal. Lots of seating/ space to relax! I will mention that the pool is DEEP, no real shallow end, I’d say it starts at 4 feet. ( my 6 year old could touch in his tippy toes) I mention because it’s something I usually look for in reviews having both older and younger ones who love to spend the week at the pool when we are not at the beach. Kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, dish wear. Beds were comfortable, linens were nice. Outdoor areas ( “grass” dock and concrete) do get HOT on the heat of the day and the bugs are terrible in the evenings. All and all a wonderful stay! Would stay again!
