This was our first effort at a large family gathering over an extended period (a week), during a summer beach vacation.
It worked.
The house was great and was furnished as needed for many people who, although related, do not live together.
Right on the beach, with pool and hot tub, and laid out in a way to accommodate many people together, but still provide some "be by yourself" space.
Two minor critisisms:
1) Advertised capacity was 15, yet there were only beds for 14. Management did provide an extra bed (blowup type) that we found a place for, so it worked out.
2) Toaster was advertised and shown in a picture, but it was nowhere to be found. There was a toaster oven, but that's just not the same, especially with lots of folks.
Overall...We had a great time and would consider it again.
