Family members arrived from New York, Texas, and Missouri for a 5 day beach vacation after a nearby wedding. We used all 5 bedrooms, and it was great that our daughter could be downstairs next to the (huge) bedroom that our granddaughters stayed in. Each granddaughter (age 6 and 9) had her own queen bed - sharing a bed wouldn't have worked nearly as well. We had 4 guests for lunch one day and 2 guests for lunch another day. The kitchen facilities, dining area, and outside deck table worked well. The place was spotless, the glassware sparkled, and we had every possible pot and pan, dishwashing pods for the dishwasher and detergent pods for the washer and dryer. In addition to a full stove, there was a microwave. We brought our own coffee maker because we wanted bigger batches than the Kerik the host provided. We would have liked a toaster too. It was a short 2 minute walk to the beach, and a deep wagon was available to cart lunch and supplies. Even a hose near the main entrance to wash off the sand before returning into the house. Perfect for us. Plus we had 3 cars that fit neatly into the parking area provided.
