Perfect house for multiple families. Everyone had their own space and such great common area space. We had 8 adults and 4 kids and there was plenty of room. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen to cook all the meals and was so nice to have a table that fit us all. We had such a great stay and made lifelong memories!

This Stay was amazing! Tbh the pictures don’t give it justice. When I finally arrived at the property, I got way more than what the pictures described. There is a very clean large and spacious bedroom in the basement that is not shown in the pictures. Large enough to fit 12 of my friends and I. I definitely recommend

Great Getaway!

A great spot for a getaway - large friend group or family reunion. Lots of beds, comforts of home. Neighborhood was veer cute - loved to see the house names and colors. Only recommendation would be to coordinate cars - parking was a bit troublesome - host did provide instructions and permits, and we were there on a holiday weekend so I am sure that contributed. Communication with host was always prompt and pleasant. Would recommend this property.

Nice family reunion

Beautiful location with lots to do in the community … the house was clean and kitchen has plenty of equipment/dishes. Assortment of spices… but brings everything else needed for food. Great communication of how to check in… be aware everyone must wear event wristbands and cars need parking passes. Ours were missing in arrival… but they brought them quickly. We enjoyed the pool, pickleball, beach access. They have local live music in the evening. Would recommend for groups wanting space both inside and out!
