Our young family of 5 spent 5 days in Dream Catcher over the Labor Day holiday. The home makes great use of the smaller space.... The bathrooms are nicely sized and well appointed (including a bathtub for sandy kids and built in "potty seats" that my 21 month old adored!), and the two bedrooms have comfortable queen sized beds and flat screens, the loft was perfect for our boys (6 and 4)... The ladder was a bit steep but the space was great! The furnishings were perfectly beach appropriate (casually elegant and well thought through for the elements!) and the kitchen had everything we needed. We cooked (beach food - chicken, hot dogs, frozen pizza) a few meals and ate locally the rest - the market is incredibly convenient and there is a Publix about a mile or so away. The home was spotless when we arrived. It was a perfect home for our family.

The location is great - 5 or so houses to the breathtaking beach! We spent most of our time there but also tried the pool (fine but chilly!) and went on a great bike ride. We brought a beach tent so we had to set up just past the private side of the beach next to the public portion of seaside but it was a very short walk and allowed up to be close as we wanted to the water. I believe you can also had tents in the back row behind the cabana chairs but, with small children, we wanted a close eye on them!

There was some confusion about the bikes- they aren't included anymore but we weren't told that until right before we arrived (which is a bit perplexing as all the summaries of the home and check in instructions refer to 4). I still wanted 2 (we brought the boys bikes down) so I'm not sure if I'll be charged or not. Either way, I'd recommend the home info be updated.

Additionally our parking and pool passes weren't in the home when we got them but that was resolved within 24 hours without problem!

In summary, this is a lovely beach home in a utopian area!
