Thank you! We’re so glad the home was perfect for your family getaway and that it made for such a special time together. We’d love to welcome you back with Gather for another memorable island escape!
This was a fantastic place to stay. Our family was there for Thanksgiving… which always means a lot of cooking, and the kitchen was great for that. We had our grandchildren (4, 5, and 7) and there was lots for them to do. Bedrooms were great, comfortable and spacious. Listing says "dog friendly" and I was surprised HOW dog friendly it was… right down to dog beds & dog treats. We really enjoyed this property.

We appreciate your high recommendation and look forward to the opportunity to host you again in the future for more memorable occasions!
We really enjoyed our stay. Communication with the host is superb. Agree with other reviewers that more seating for dining and lounging would be a great asset given the number of people the home can accommodate. Loved the yard, decks, and hot tub!

Thank you, Alex, for your review. Your positive experience, especially noting the ease of communication, sets a high bar for us. The suggestion to expand seating aligns well with our commitment to enhancing guest comfort. We're delighted that the outdoor amenities were a hit, we look forward to your next visit, aiming to elevate your experience even further.
House is a short walk to the bay and the view of the ocean from the upstairs balcony is beautiful. House layout is great for families. Wish there would have been more comfy chairs/couches to lounge on. We are a family of 4 and had friends over and seating was awkward and not cozy to cuddle up.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on this property. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the location and the view of the ocean from the upstairs balcony. However, it's also valuable to know that there were some limitations with the seating arrangements, especially when you had friends over. Your input can be helpful for both future travelers and property owners to improve the overall experience. If you have any more insights or need assistance with anything else, please feel free to ask. Enjoy your future travels!
The house was very beautiful, well decorated, spacious, and located in a quiet calming neighborhood. Kids loved it as there were games to play in the house. When we had some issues, it was resolved immediately and impressively! I would suggest having some more variety of utensils and pots and pans stocked to cook. We would surely recommend it to friends. Thank you for accommodating us.
