My family spent a week at the Miller's home and everyone had a great vacation! Pleasing all members of a family of five is difficult when the children range from age thirteen to ten months, but this home and its location offered something for each of us.
I loved the well stocked kitchen and close proximity to the beach. Dad enjoyed the grill and the screened in patio. We dined every night together, as a family, in this beautiful setting. Tyler loved the big yard for hitting wiffle balls and playing badminton. Renz adored the loft and the quiet neighborhood setting. Marielle was pleased by the fact that the house was close to stores and entertainment. Our vacation activities included mini-golf, batting cages, antiquing, swimming at Parker's Beach, sunset spotting, a visit (or two) to the Christmas Tree Shop, breakfast at The Pancake Man, icecream parlor visits, a drive up the coast, a few dinners out at local restaurants and some family time simply relaxing or playing cards in the kitchen.
Traveling with a baby can be stressful, but Doug's well appointed home made daily living convenient and relieved me of some of the worries that come with traveling with a little one. We opted to rent a few items in order to meet our own personal needs: crib, Diaper Genie, badminton set, activity saucer, etc. We chose to rent from Auntie Vi's and they were prompt and reliable. We also rented beach chairs and a chair caddy, but these items are available at the Miller home, so don't waste your vacation funds on them. We also used Peapod (Stop n' Shop) to have our groceries delivered to the house.
The house and grounds are kept wonderfully and Doug is the most gracious host. He made himself available to answer questions and provided us with helpful tips as we prepared for our vacation. There is also a binder at the house filled with pamphlets and brochures to provide you with maps and information about local attractions and activities.
We have already talked about returning to this home in the future and think it will be a great vacation location as our older children begin to seek fun on their own. There are fishing charters and banana boat rides in close proximity to the home, so there are certainly adventures yet to be had!
We highly recommend this property to anyone who is seeking to get away and enjoy some family fun time. I am getting a sunny Cape glow from just thinking about our stay and our time together!
