The layout of the house was perfect for our group of 7 girls coming together to celebrate a birthday. The house is in perfect proximity to a gorgeous beach, stunning trail, and the downtown area making it a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The different seating areas around the house made of a wonderful weekend of catching up! We can't wait to come back.

Overall our stay was wonderful we got to spend much needed family time. Nice big table for games and dinner but not much couch seating for large group. Also if you have toddler bring gates for stairs. But really this place is great!
