Great family getaway!

We spent a week at this wonderful house with our family over the 4th of July, and had a fantastic time! The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need, and we saw the most amazing sunsets on the beach. It was a week of swimming, boating, campfires, and laughter, and we enjoyed every moment.

Fabulous home, beautiful setting, lots of amenities!

Our family had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful home. It's decorated very nicely. The game shed which had every "bar game" imaginable was a fun spot for our family reunion...The kids loved the playground, too. There were many water toys for us to use - lily pad, kayaks, paddle boards, sand toys.
