This was the perfect place for our family vacation. We had two older adults, four young adults, 2 children, and a baby. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The property was beautiful with lots to do. We spent a lot of time on the water kayaking and looking for sea shells with the kids. There was also a great games room and lots of toys for the kids. There was also a high chair and crib for the baby. Lots of the bedrooms had blackout curtains too so we had no issues with the baby napping. I would recommend this spot to anyone. We're already talking about coming back.

This property is absolutely stunning! As good as it looks in the listing, it’s exponentially better in person. Check-in and out was simple and the owners were quick to respond to any questions. There are several beaches to check out close to the house (including the one on property) that are great for play and hunting sea glass. We had a pleasant surprise when we realized that the beach on property is also a great spot to view starfish! Our family had the trip of a lifetime and could not have been happier with our stay. Thank you for sharing such an incredible place!
