I cannot say enough positive things about this property! We were a large group with kids, there for just shy of a week and it was absolutely dreamy. The photos of the house are gorgeous and it did not disappoint - in fact, it was even more beautiful in person! It is apparent that every detail has been considered, both in beauty and in function, and it is obvious in the feeling of the house. The upstairs living area is flooded with sunlight and has the loveliest views. It is open, bigger than it looks in the photos, and was the perfect gathering place for our large family with lots of room for everyone. The deck is large and extends the living area by quite a bit when the doors are open. In the early morning we saw deer, bobcats and an eagle (or..?) from the deck, which was a fun treat. The downstairs has all of the bedrooms and, while still bright, it keeps cool for sleeping and provides ample privacy for everyone. By the nature of the land, the outdoor space is broken up into small areas but we had no trouble lounging around with everyone outside.
There are extra little areas not shown in the pictures including a (beautiful!) main floor powder room, pantry, mudroom and small office as well as a full bathroom downstairs. There is a LOT of space and it really made our time with a relatively large group totally pleasant. The kitchen is very well appointed (two islands - love it! ) and has everything you need for cooking and enjoying a meal. We spent a lot of time out of the house but when we were there, we grilled pizzas on the outdoor grill, swam in the pool, kids jumped on the trampoline and just hung out relaxing in the great room, sharing time with each other. Beds and bedding were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels - bath and beach - as well as extra blankets.
Rob, the owner, was exceptionally pleasant to work with. He responded very quickly to any questions on the website or via text. He was professional but also very easy going and relaxed and made us feel totally welcome and at ease.
I have stayed at many rental properties over the years and I will not hesitate to say that this was the best. Truly. A spectacular home in a spectacular location. Well worth it!
Rob and family, thank you so much for opening your home to us. As you know, it was a meaningful time for our family and your home, and the welcome you gave us, provided us the opportunity to truly be together in absolute comfort. What a gift! Thank you!
