Great location and facility had everything we needed for two nights. We brought a boiling pot/ burner and table to do a seafood boil on the back deck. Very convenient. Since the home is so large and constantly has large groups it is starting to show that kind of wear so don't expect perfect but it is very nice and worth the money because of capacity. We had 13 and a couple house dogs. Enough bedrooms so everyone could sleep comfortably.

The host company was extremely responsive especially when I needed them by phone; They were accessible and empathetic and very kind. Additionally the houses' amenities were as described and great to have on our weekend stay. We didn't go to the beach as we were there for some girl time, but loved to have had access to a beautiful pool. Each bedroom was gorgeous and comfortable. The house is truly an oasis right outside the city.

Senior Class trip

The house was exactly as advertised. Plenty of room for our party of 19. The only thing that was bothersome, was the house echoed and was kinda noisy with a bunch of teenagers. But it was nice and clean and we enjoyed our stay.

Pre-cruise visit

The home is very large and can comfortably sleep 22. There were many nice upgrades which made the home feel high-end. The floor in the living room needs some repair but everything else was in good condition. We would definitely stay here again.
