Although we were aware of the stairs to the house, we were not aware of the additional climb to get to the house. Luckily we are an athletic family!! We loved it, the area is beautiful and so perfectly located nestled in the woods with the beach very close. Definitely one of the best vacations we’ve taken. The only item I would note is it is in desperate need of a deep, clean, the windows are very dirty. With a bit of TLC the house would be absolutely perfect.
