There were six of us, but the house could ***easily*** hold more people (we had a whole bedroom we did not use + two twin beds). The view of the ocean is simply delightful--the owner's pictures really don't do it justice. You can watch the sunsets and the sunrises (don't miss the roof deck). There are two sets of washing machines, and the kitchen had everything we needed (coffee maker, filters, blender, utensils, and even a bread machine--wish I'd known about that beforehand...!). The owner even supplied a grill, which we used for burgers, steaks, and smores. He supplied four beach chairs, an umbrella, and four beach towels. There ae some games, but the only one for teenagers and adults was Jenga. Be ready to climb stairs to get to the door--we didn't mind at all, but some might (believe me given the views, the stairs are ***totally*** worth it). The home was cool and comfortable, and internet is great (we streamed whatever we watched on TV, which wasn't much, given all the things to do). It is super easy to access the beach, though for better "beach position", it might be better to go past the pier or to hike a bit down the street toward Carolina Beach (we found one day that the combination of the erosion and tide made for waves touching all our stuff). We saw fireworks on Thursday night in town, and had amazing donuts. If you go away from town and toward the pier, there is a cute little bar/restaurant which I would have loved to visit, but we just didn't have a chance. The owner was very responsive, even for minor things, which I appreciated.
