Great location in Empire. The place was very cozy and great for a family. Our son loved trying the bunk bed! We didn’t use the backyard as we were exhausted but a great set up for fires out back. Walkable to the beach as well. Not a ton of food options in Empire and a few places were cash only. Also the parking is in front on the easement instead of any side driveway - but the neighbor was very friendly to help point that out!

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. It warms our hearts that the cozy setup worked so well for your family, and that your son had such fun with the bunk bed. Thank you as well for the honest notes about the food options in Empire and the parking on the easement out front. We've shared those with our local team so we can keep our guest information as clear as possible, and we're glad the friendly neighbor helped point you in the right direction. Whenever your family is ready for more time near the beach, we'd love to host you again. The VueStay Team
