This is our second year staying at Mariners Reach. We absolutely love it and so do the dogs! The kitchen has everything you need. I would say high chairs at the peninsula would be good!! The house is always clean. Our favorite place is the sunroom for having coffee and breakfast in the morning. We will definitely be back!!
