Carter's place was the perfect spot for 8 ladies on a relaxing, long weekend bachelorette. It was just the right amount of space, with all of the appliances needed to cook in for several nights. Some of us utilized the hot tub. Pool maintenance arrived on our second day and cleaned which was a nice surprise. Some of us took a cold plunge! We decided not to heat the pool since we were there for a shorter period of time. On the off season, I wasn't surprised to see a lot of the trees and bushes overgrown in the backyard however, the lawn was well manicured. A little more maintenance of the vines/bushes around the hot tub would have been nice prior to our stay to make it more clean/appealing to hang out, but I just used one of their brooms to do it myself. The house is conveniently located in walking distance from the beach which was lovely! With a car, we were able to get anywhere in 10-15 minutes. Carter was incredibly approachable throughout our stay. The place definitely has an elevated "coastal grandma" esthetic with all of the nautical antiques and tons of books that fill each room. Definitely more of a kid-friendly place to stay with bunk beds, toys/game, and strollers available. I'd say it comfortably fit 8 adults with the pull out couch in the lower family room. Adding more than that would feel pretty snug. *Note* Taking out trash has a process. Just read the booklet ahead of time to plan out how to dispose of it. Check-in and out was very smooth!
