The property is beautiful and spacious - well appointed and perfect for any occasion. There is something for everyone. My daughter absolutely loved the tree house!
A great property for large, extended and/ or multigenerational families to gather. Large outdoor area for family members to come together round a fire pit to share stories and play. Individual sleeping area in tree house and cottage provide private spaces to retreat and recover if/when family interaction gets too overwhelming. Quiet neighborhood, clean rooms. Lots of parking space.
Plenty of space, comfy beds and thoughtful amenities. Outdoor space is wonderful! Really the only complaint was the barking dog next door barked all day, so it was annoying when we were enjoying the outdoor space.
The House of Joy was perfect for our big family vacation! The pictures of the outside areas don’t do the space justice. Our youngsters were able to run around outside in the fenced yards without having to worry. The bunk room was perfect for the kids and the adults were all very comfortable. We did use the hot tub and it was in great working order. The kitchen is lovely but may not have everything you need. The only thing this house doesn’t have is an ocean view but the other amenities more than made up for the fact that we had to drive five minutes to get to water. We loved this house so much we’ve already booked it for next year!
Rooms are clean & orderly with nice & good lighting The host is very friendly & respond to our concerns no long waitingHot tub is ok. Adults didn’t get to use it but the kids did & they enjoyed itKitchen is nice, clean & it has almost everything we need except for paper towel that I hv to call & someone came to deliver a roll. The bath room drain next to the living room drains very slow. Otherwise all else are a joy to enjoy.

Reviewer Comments:
The House of Joy is exactly that! There are so many spaces to enjoy inside and outside. The Treehouse, Cottage, and outside patio were pure rustic charm. A full bath is accessible outside as well as a fridge, BBQ, coffee, etc. A TV room enclosed in a zipped canvas with comfy seating was well used! The Hot tub was wonderful. The inside house includes everything to meet your needs. The bathrooms and kitchen are of great quality with various areas for activities. All of the mattresses are excellent. This plan was very intentional to make a fun and cozy getaway for all generations. Our family group of girls loved it!!

Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
All blankets were not dried properly and it smelled musty. All others were good
We rented the whole property and it really worked for us. There was room for everyone and lots of common areas to gather in. We ate dinner and breakfast out on the deck and it was especially lovely!
Wonderful home to relax and enjoy time with family. Neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Host takes pride in their property, inside and out. Easy check-in process and well stocked with basic necessities.Looking forward to returning!
