What a wonderful time we had at 52A Main St where we celebrated our annual family Christmas event! The accommodations here are so warm/welcoming and the open space concept allows for our large group to gather. There's much to enjoy right onsite (indoor/outdoor games, ping pong, biking) and the property is just a short walk to Short Sands Beach! Pam & Mike are incredibly gracious hosts and we've all felt very grateful to be able to continue our annual family tradition here!
