We stayed in this house in March to celebrate a big milestone birthday. Very comfortable property. The pool was a little chilly the first day we got there. By the end of our stay, the pool warmed up and so did the weather outside. Lots of stuff to do within walking distance. Six adults and four kids can easily stay here. With our group, three girls got their own big beds. Two of us slept in the bunk room. We did a couple of loads of laundry with the soap provided. Plenty of towels and beach towels were available. We spent most of our time hanging out in the kitchen or out by the pool. There’s a full dining room table and a living room area as well. This historical home has all the necessary upgrades to make well worth a visit!
