TLDR: This place is great for large groups with kids! You wonāt regret staying here!
I hope this review will be helpful to people looking to book for a group including young children! Sometimes itās hard to get a feel for how well a place will work with kids involved, so Iām going to speak to that specifically in addition to our general experience!
This host was so easy to work with! We even had a weird fiasco where VRBO gave us bad info on how to modify a posted payment to a different form of payment, and the host really bent over backward to resolve it for us. Response time was always super quick!
Our group had 12 adults and four children ages 5 and under, and we were all accommodated so comfortably! The bunk room is great for kidsā the bunks are low to the ground with the bottom bunks being just inches from the floor, so if your child is used to a low toddler bed and hasnāt learned not to roll out yet (one of mine was still in that stage) thereās nothing to worry about! The top bunks are only about five feet off the ground, so that even if you have the most adventurous dare devil in your pack of kids (as is again the case for me), they canāt get into TOO much trouble!
Additionally, the main level master bedroom could house an entire family itself. In addition to the two Queen beds, there is AMPLE floor space in there to bring a crib or a blowup mattress (or both), and the closet is also big enough to easily fit a blowup mattress or crib if you needed to have the kiddos behind their own closed door.
Speaking of the mattressesā well done, host. Every mattress, even the bunk mattresses, were quite comfortable. Thatās a rare experience for a rental home! The TVs were also uncommonly high quality for a rental property!
The house is beautifully decorated (the kids loved all the knick-knacks, facepalm, had to keep a close eye on that), and everything feels very clean and fresh. I feel like usually listings look bigger and better in the pictures, but in this case I felt like the place was even better and more spacious in person.
The walk to the beach is very easyā easy enough that both days we went I carried a child all the way home. The bikes that were provided with the property were so much fun to ride around the neighborhood and on the beach, and it was great being able to take the included chairs and umbrellas rather than spending a lot of money on renting those sorts of items!
We look forward to staying here again! :)
