The home and grounds are fantastic. Truly one of the most unique and well appointed homes we’ve ever stayed in. Plenty of room for our family of 10. It’s a great location for the dunes and beach.We have been staying at rental homes through various apps for years and this was one of our more uncomfortable encounters. The host made an unannounced visit to the property after we’d been there for about two hours. I’ve never had that happen. She spoke with one of my adult children who was outside. The next morning there was a message in the app asking for more money due to my misunderstanding of the pet policy. I want to be fair, it was my mistake and I gladly paid it, but the whole thing was strange. There are a lot of exterior and Ring cameras on the house. It felt a little more invasive, less private than what we are used to. So again, my error completely, but it definitely made us feel like we were being monitored. In a way I understand, I think this is the host’s primary home and it’s very special so I’d want to keep a close eye on it and protect it too. We loved the house and did have a wonderful time. It was just a little different than what we have experienced in the past as far as host involvement.

The house is stunning, inside and out. It is a perfect location for a Dunes vacation. Jenn was great and responded quickly when needed. The kitchen is well equipped with a gas stove top and oven, extra appliances, beautiful and spacious fridge and a great breakfast bar. The entire family loved the old style arcade bowling, chess and pool. They have a great variety of books and games. We found a new game that we will need to purchase too, Smart Ass”We would definitely return if the opportunity arises!!

overall, a very nice accommodation for the 8 of us.Some minor things which are not dealbreakers. The kitchen cabinets are for tall people - if you are on the shorter side, difficult to reach glasses, cups, etc. Only one room is accessible for anyone having difficulties with stairs. And bathrooms are not all adjacent to bedrooms. Very nice decor with interesting touches throughout the house, TV's galore and so many games, activities. We also especially enjoyed the screened in porch in the morning drinking our coffee.The Dunes are incredibly close by so very handy. And the grounds are beautiful and well kept. Enough towels and comfortable beds. Maybe some standard size pillows would be nice. I can't say enough about Jennie - very nice and very responsive to all questions. And when we were getting ready to leave and one of us was having car problems, let us know if we needed more time to depart, it was no problem. We would definitely stay again and recommend others to stay as well.

This is a beautiful house with everything you would need to house a large family. Several spaces to hang out. Fun things to do in the house: darts, pool, video game, access to multimedia and surround sound, board games. Super convenient location for the Dunes. Can’t say enough, we’ll be back!
