We had 17 people-11 adults + 6 children (7yo-15yo) The house is at the end of a quiet, established residential neighborhood.
The pros-The house is clean & comfortable. It has enough beds for all of us, 2 full kitchens, 2 laundry areas, a picnic table style kitchen table we all fit around. The house is well equipped with bath towels, linens, & kitchen supplies to prep & serve 20+ppl. The “penthouse” is a suite-bedroom, bathroom, sauna space on top level with an amazing view of the lake. The back deck has a grill, firepit, and hot tub-all worked without any trouble. The sand volleyball court is well maintained w/ soft sand-volleyballs & sand toys on site. The path to Lake Street Beach is a short distance thru sand & dune vegetation, then a paved path. The beach is awesome! Communication with host was wonderful-Hilary & her team always responded quickly and were attentive to our needs.
The cons-There are no ramps between the 6 levels of the home-just stairs. There are no bedrooms or bathroom on the “main”level. One full bathroom is currently out of order. You must go thru the “pass thru” bedroom or go around outside to access the 2nd kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and the penthouse. Several of us got chigger bites along the path to the beach.
The vrbo photos show this house in its best lighting/staging/angles. We were slightly disappointed at the actual lot size & interior spaces. Without hesitation, I would recommend this house for a large gathering 🙂
