What a great house. We had our three children, three grandchildren, son-in-law and always had plenty of space for everyone. The canal and Kayaks were a wonderful feature. Great kitchen, spacious tv room, we never wanted to leave. We had a family reunion of sorts and of the 4 rented houses the Kitchen's Salthouse was everyone's favorite. John Lamparelli
