The house was amazing! The best feature by far is the giant pool! We had 14 kids in our group and they had the time of their lives in the pool! We choose to heat the pool and it was worth it. The adults made great use of the table in the pool for games and the hot tub is spacious and ideally located (gets the afternoon sun!). The pool bar was pointless though, it doesnāt have any power (no fridge, no ability to use a blender) - the space could be used for something better. The outdoor kitchen space is very nice and located perfectly in the shade. The grill was pretty greasy so it flamed up and the exhaust hood didnāt vacate the smoke - so beware, set burners low and be prepared to set off the smoke alarms!
The house is huge, plenty of rooms and beds for the approved 24 guests. The 1st level has a huge bunk room but be aware, that level is very warm, its 5-10 degrees warmer on the 1st floor than the 3rd for some reason.
The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed to cook meals every night. We loved the giant island and the many seating options. Two downsides of the kitchen are the fridge doesnāt have an ice maker (there are 2 on the 1st lever but none in the kitchen) and the oven/cooktop is giant and high end, but the center griddle didnāt work at all and the exhaust hood made an awful noise.
Access to the beach is a short 3 min walk and completely manageable even with all the kids we had! The beach is pristine and worth every second of the walk and then some!! There were a few sand toys and balls. Having a golf cart included was an exciting perk but there really isnāt a place to park it at the beach and it only seats 6 so if you have a big group, you have to take turns!
Overall we loved this house and would book it again in a heartbeat. Our only feedback to the owners are to get the kitchen oven and grill repaired and if you want to spoil your guests, provide beach chairs, hooks in the bathrooms/bedrooms for hanging towels, and maybe laundry baskets in each room for ease of carrying things between levels.
We did call in the maintenances crew for a few issues on day one and they were fast and helpful!
