We had a full house - 7 adults and 2 kids - but we never felt crowded. The view was a delight and, when the weather cleared up, we really enjoyed being outside on the patio. We were there for a milestone birthday celebration and the house played a big part in the success of the weekend.
Perfect house for a weekend at the coast. Kitchen had everything you would need, rooms were comfortable, no complaints. Great place to sit outside and enjoy the views, house had kayaks/paddleboards to take out on the water. Clean upon arrival, easy check in process. Would stay here again.
