We absolutely loved staying here!! We brought our 3 adult kids and their families with us, a total of 15. We had 3 grandchildren ages 11, 10, & 7, with two of them having birthdays while we were there! We rented both sides, had 5 cars and plenty of space for parking on the drive. We really used the space under the house, even if it wasn’t raining. Our one rain day it saved us: we could all gather outside, eat, play games and visit without getting wet. We used the charcoal grill and enjoyed. Check in was so easy! The rooms were great. Although we didn’t cook a bunch, the kitchen had what utensils or pans we needed. The pool was clean and wonderful with a large deck where there was room for everyone. The location is great for walking to the beach if you want. We also enjoy that it is not in the middle of the traffic area but easy enough to all of the restaurants and stores. We got there a bit early. Ray, who is in charge of the cleaning is friendly and kind. We enjoyed talking to him and he encouraged us to call him if we needed something!The owner, Lorraine, is a jewel. She responds quickly, is very helpful and accommodating. We are in hopes of staying there next year and highly recommend.

The place was perfect for a family of 12! Very spacious. It was less than a half mile to the beach. Pool was amazing for the kids! The kitchen provided everything to be able to cook dinner every night of our stay. We did have some issues with cleanliness but overall, it was a good trip and would stay again.
