Great Family Getaway

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay very much at Bear’s Den. Lots of space to spread out, great open floor plan, beautiful views from the back of the house, great sunsets and lovely daily beach walks. Perfectly located to the beach, less than a 1000ft! Awesome one week stay for us all. We hope to return in the future when weather is warmer!

Disappointed

The house has not been taken care of. I find it hard to believe that it had 5 stars. Will not stay there again or any of your houses if you clean them that way.

Great area and location.

The area and the location were great. We brought our kayaks and were able to paddle the area very easily. The house was very comfortable and had almost everything we needed. My only recommendations would be to add additional kitchen towels to the linen package and add a dish rack for drying some dishes. Overall though, the house fit our family's needs and we had a great time.
