This house is a wonderful place for large families to gather. Everything is clean and beautiful and the host was responsive to all questions. Lovely quiet street a block from the water. We would definitely stay again.

Thank you so much for the kind review! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and would be happy to host you again anytime.
The house was ideal for our large family to gather. Lots of light, nicely decorated, plenty of room. Katherine is an excellent host and there were little niceties around to make you feel welcome at right at home.Location was great.
House is beautiful. So well maintained in terms of cleanliness, linens, furnishings, and helpful little touches like the labeling of the light switches. Check-in was a breeze, and our host was wonderful to communicate with. We were very pleased….

I’m so happy you had a great stay. Thank you for the lovely review. You’re always welcome back!
We had a great time staying there. It was a struggle finding good homes that allowed a larger group of people in, and this home was a great fit for us.The most important part was that the hostess was a great person and was always there if we needed anything.
This was a gorgeous, spacious vacation spot for our large family. The amenities were comparable to a 4 star hotel. Perfect for family meals (inside or on the spacious deck) and group games. The owner was very responsive and helpful with questions before and during the stay.
Clean, spacious property. We were 19 people, half kids and half adults, and the house was ideal. 2 living spaces and a massive dining table that could seat us all comfortably. Only thing we were not expecting is that the pool referenced is at the nearby beach recreation area, and the house comes with entry passes to the beach but there’s an additional fee to use the pool.
The house was perfect for a large group! We used it for our wedding party and the house was awesome. Had everything we could have needed. Katie was an awesome host and is very responsive! Would 1000% recommend!!!
Stayed here for a college reunion with a few other couples. The house was spacious and extremely well stocked. Beds were comfortable and the location was beautiful with many of us either going for a run along the water or walking to the nearby park. Katie was superbly responsive and friendly. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely do so again!
Wonderful property .Close to beach and beach passes were great. Well laid out property. Katherine very responsive when small issues came up. Would stay there again
We were a family of ten with 6 adults and 4 children ages 3-7. The house was well stocked and lacked nothing. Beach access was a mile away and beach passes were great. The kids loved the town playground and Mitchell College’s ice cream was a hit. The house was spacious and beds were comfortable.
Very spacious rental! Lots of bedroom options! Nice full bathrooms. Great deck! Nice neighborhood. Fit 11 of us comfortably. Close to the beach, restaurants and stores
Our group of 16 friends had an amazing time at this house. It’s a spacious, beautiful property that is so well stocked with everything you could need. We have stayed in a number of rentals as a large group and all agreed that this was our very favorite! The dining room and multiple living rooms with plenty of seating for everyone were highlights. Great location with gorgeous water views and an easy walk to the beach.
Absolutely loved staying here. Katie was super helpful and my group had an amazing time. The house is plenty big for big groups. While my group was supposed to be 16, we only had 8 but it felt even more special! Everyone had their own rooms & thoroughly enjoyed their time. Thank you for being an incredible host, Katie!
