The house is great and has everything you need. The kitchen is great! There's plenty of space if your group wants to spread out and do different things. And it's a very short walk to the beach. We've stayed twice and definitely plan to return!

Great weekend getaway

A five adult women looking for an easy, relaxing getaway, we couldn't have asked for a better house! The inside is beautiful and seems recently updated. The outside space is spectacular - private, covered eating area and open space to sit and hang out! And the beach is right across the street. Fantastic visit and home

Beach vacation

The house was very very clean. Just a short walk to the beach with handicap ramp to the top of the dune. It was nice to be able to walk the beach, come back to the house, and go back to the beach without much effort.

Summer Family Retreat

Very comfortable home with plenty of space for privacy and children to hang out separate from the adults. We prefer home cooked family meals so the fully stock kitchen was a plus! Also enjoy the evening outdoors and backyard patio was perfect - just wish it was cleaned up a bit better after the last guests

Wonderful vacation home

Our family enjoyed the time we spent at the cottage so much this year. The cottage is spacious and lovely. Everyone had room to spread out and have some space of their own. We are a family of 10 with grandchildren ranging in ages 13 to 5. We plan on returning next year.

Perfect Beach House

This house was perfect for our four families. Access to the beach was so close and the beach was amazing! The house is equipped with so many things which was really great and thoughtful of the owner. Very clean and exactly as shown in the listing. There was a lot of room and bathrooms for everyone to have their space. We will definitely keep this house in mind for future stays.

FABULOUS

Thank you, Trish, for sharing your beautiful home! You have thought of everything! The location is ideal, just a short walk to the beach. The outdoor space is a huge bonus. We had magical evenings sharing dinner around the big outdoor table. The 3rd floor gathering space made the perfect yoga room with enough space for all 8 of us. The bedroom and bathroom arrangement works well for large groups. We all agreed this was the perfect place for our mini vacation. I highly recommend this beautiful home. You won’t be disappointed.

It was better than I expected

The location was just a few minutes from the beach and the background was picture perfect. I had my friends join me to celebrate 2022 with me. The house had everything we needed and more. I made sure only 2 people had to share a bathroom. I have to admit, my friends and I were inspired with decor etc. Whenever I had a question, I received a quick response. The neighbors were just as friendly and helpful with tips and told us about the beautiful sunset. This place is on my 'to go to' on an annual basis. It is home away from home but much more relaxing.

Great house for large groups

This house was clean, beautiful and spacious. My husband and I were there with our adult children, their spouses and their kids. It was probably one of the rainiest vacations we ever experienced, but because the house was roomy and comfortable, we still had a great time. The kids (age 2 and 4) had room for their toys upstairs in the great room, and we could supervise them while still enjoying a view of the lake (and storms rolling in) from the upstairs balcony. The basement area is very private and safe (and the door directly into the basement area was very nice for unloading luggage etc- especially in the rain). The kitchen had very nice appliances, and a fantastic island area around which we were always gathered. The bathrooms were plentiful and updated, and clean. The outdoor sitting area was also very nice. We used and appreciated every bit of this home. Location was also very good. Very close to beach access, and reasonably close to restaurants in the area. We like to take long walks so we walked everywhere. Just one note that the outside grill is not gas. When we come back (and we will!), we will bring charcoal. Lovely home!!!!

The location to the beach, plus the number of bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms made it so easy for us and our extended family. 3 levels of living to give everyone their own space and a great open kitchen and living area seemed just right for us. The upstairs family room was perfect for watching all of the World Cup games. We look forward to going back.
