10 of us, including 4 children aged 5 to 9, had a lovely stay over Christmas. The flow of the house worked very well, with the variety of spaces allowing us both to gather together and to find some peace and quiet when desired. Six of us were easily accommodated on the ground floor, with the others very happy with the smartly renovated basement apartment.We appreciated the ability to walk to the beach, and did so a couple of times most days. Thank you Penny for leaving out beach towels, body boards and pool toys too!Adults and children loved the pool table and the pool, especially the seating area under cover around the latter. The kitchen was well appointed and supplied, although we would have liked seating for all ten of us around the inside dining table. (It was just possible around the outside table.) Penny our host was helpful and excellent to deal with - prompt and clear communications before and during our stay. All in all a comfortable house and a happy stay.
