We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our two daughters, their husbands,8 Grandkids, a brother-in-law and his wife. Everyone had an awesome time. The home was laid out very well with large common spaces upstairs and downstairs. Beach access was just a few steps away. We look forward to staying there again!Javier

Great Property

The house was clean, and we were satisfied with the amenities. The entire group is 60 or more years of age, and the complaint was there was no restroom facility on the ground level with such a beautiful area and having to go up and down the stairs.

This house was perfect for our gathering. The rooms were nice, there's plenty of room for everyone in the living and dining area, and the beach path is right next to the house. I will definitely stay here again, if I have a large group.

Great for a big family and kids

Size of home was perfect for a big family. Beach access was directly below the home. Plenty of sitting areas upstairs, downstairs, and bathrooms. Loft was great for the kids. Great view being beach front etc. Will be booking this home again.
