Family vacation
Overall, we had an amazing experience. The place was beautiful and well maintained. The only thing that was disappointing is that there wasn’t a single roll of toilet paper in the house on arrival and the bbq propane tank was completely empty. Those items seem to be left to “pay it forward”. Please consider leaving a “basic” supply of those items, especially after a 90 minute drive from Norfolk with a large family coming from Canada and the west coast. All things considered, though, we would definitely stay there again!
