The extendable dining-room table was roomy even for our group of 9 and could have held more. If you want mealtime conversation with your whole group, this is the place to stay. Also, whenever your big group has both full bathrooms in use, it's great to have the half-bath as a third option. All 3 baths are accessible from the hallway. And there's a big enclosed outdoor shower. Ocean can
be seen from nearly everywhere in the house [except 1 bedroom, hall, and bathrooms]. One disadvantage: the 1-lane driveway may require some shuffling of cars--we had 3--but Cheehaw has almost no traffic, so on-street parking is possible.
