The house was great---the beds were comfortable; the kitchen had all the appliances, dishes, cookware needed to prepare food for the family; supplies such as seasonings, tin foil, etc. were there for our use; the living room was large enough for all 8 of us, including a couple of gangly teenage boys; and plenty of linens to take care of our needs. The deck was great---lots of seating around the firepit, a heater to keep us warm, and a lovely view of the ocean. We were on the deck most evenings.
The walk to the beach was a little longer than expected, but it wasn't a problem. The beach is beautiful---we spent a couple of days building sand castles, taking walks, reading, and relaxing.
The locations allowed us to visit the Boardwalk, do some shopping, and take a sail boat ride on the bay.
Mr. Carpenter was great and accommodated our request to arrive a earlier. He was responsive to our texts and was helpful.
As a family we have stayed at a number of beach houses. I think this was our best experience and hope to come back in the future. Our youngest grandson didn't want to leave.
Thank you so much!!
