This house is great. The layout is accommodating with the living/kitchen/dining area centrally located. We love this kitchen. It actually has pots, pans, sheet trays, an instapot/crockpot and sharp knives, so it definitely works for families that like to cook. It could use some additional coffee cups and measuring spoons/cups but overall, this kitchen is well stocked. Ten people easily stayed in this house. We managed to all crowd around the table even though only seating for 8. There is additional seating at the bar. Id also like to give a gold star because there were plenty of extra towels, blankets, pillows, and beach towels in this house. Customer service was friendly, easy to contact and they responded quickly. We didnt get to enjoy the back deck area much due to the mosquitos, and would have loved to have screens in the windows to let in the breeze in the evenings. The walk to the beach and bay are easy and only minutes away. Overall, this is a fantastic house that is as described and would stay here again.
