Great Family Gathering Place
Truly enjoyed the opportunity to gather with all 4 of my sons and their families. All 15 of us were comfortable and enjoyed the pool, the elevator, and the big living space.

Family Beach Getaway
This house accommodated our entire family of 18 comfortably. The elevator was such a nice addition to help with luggage and groceries. Also, the grandparents really appreciated it. Very nice touch. Everyone loved the swimming pool in the afternoons and evening. We enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to return.

Absolutely Perfect!
This house was absolutely perfect! It's clean and laid out so well for a big group. We went with several families and always felt like there was plenty of room in the common areas while eating or hanging out. And we all felt like we had nice, private bedrooms and bathrooms for when we needed to wind down from a busy day. It truly was the best of both worlds. The pool was just big enough for the kids to splash around in after going to the beach or for the adults to hang out and have a drink in. Also, one thing we were all SO grateful for was the spacious fridge and the ice machine. The walk to the beach and restaurants was also very convenient. We loved this house!

Large Family Approved
You can't find a better location, we were within walking distance to all the popular locations and the beach. The home was perfect for our large family getaway, each couple had their own private room and bathroom, and the cousins were able to share the bunk bed rooms. The kitchen/dining/living-room open layout was ideal for our family meals! The large refrigerator was so useful and lets not forget the ice maker, the kids loved it! The elevator was helpful for not only the grandparent's but also for hauling suitcases upstairs (major perk). The kids enjoyed the pool after the beach while the parents cooked out. Over-all great home, we would definitely come back! We had zero complaints!
