Summer vacation
Our group had 4 families total, 8 adults and 17 kids. We had more than enough room in this spacious home. Our beach view and access were wonderful. Our only recommendation would be cooking utensils, pots/pans, bowls large enough to accommodate 30 people (total house capacity). It would have made it much easier on guests preparing meals in the home. Also, the house has a million dollar view of the ocean, the windows facing the beach could use a good cleaning for that first view wow factor. Overall we were very satisfied.
