Great stay with the family - 7 people. It was nice that everyone had a bed to sleep in without anyone having to be on the couch. Convenient location for visiting places along the seawall. We would gladly stay here again.

This was the perfect house for a family vacation including our 3 dogs! We were so happy to find a place that was a close walk to the beach with plenty of space for everyone and our dogs and with no restrictions as we do have larger dogs. The host was great with communications. The few issues we had on our trip they were quick to respond and resolve to make sure we had the best stay.
