10/10 Excellent
"The host is terrific: Knowledgeable, friendly, and amazingly responsive! The place was truly perfect for our family. Clean, light, roomy, and airy— with all the amenities of a newly renovated place! My husband and I were very comfortable on the first floor while my kids and grandkids had their own 2 bedrooms and bathroom, as well as another living room, on the second floor. Great for privacy. The kitchen was well stocked and organized and, like the rest of the house, meticulously clean! We spent several happy hours in the private swimming pool with our kids and grandkids before heading to the nearby beach for a glorious afternoon in the sunshine.Our grandkids enjoyed the local zoo, candy store, and toy shop, and we had delicious dinners at the local restaurants. Wonderful place! We will return!"

"I really cannot say enough great things about this booking! The house is incredible! Immaculate. Stocked with absolutely everything you would need. And looks exactly like the picturesbeautiful large kitchen and dining table, and comfortable, cozy living room as well as a convenient laundry area on the first floor. Beds were all comfortable, and bathrooms were conveniently located. We also enjoyed a lot of friendly competition in the game room.As for the location, it just can't be beat! Overlooking the beach, just a stone's throw away, it provided a quick and easy access to the sand, sun, and blue water as well as to all the shops and restaurants in town. Fireworks overhead greeted us Sunday night, and music from the pavilion provided an enjoyable background to the amazing sunset. Probably our favorite "hangouts" were the porch and the Adirondack chairs on the front lawn. Both provided a scenic view and a week's worth of sun-bathing, card games, conversation, and laughter! All of which we hope to enjoy again next year!"
