Nice place. Peaceful location

This was a nice place to stay. The kids loved the bunk room. The kitchen and amenities in the kitchen were great. The “living room” are didn’t have much seating for the number of people the house sleeps. I think there should be something in the description that mentions the kitchen and living room are 15 steps up.

Calming serene atmosphere

The Bunkhouse is beautiful. The kitchen is great for feeding an army of family and/or friends. The bunk bed room will be a fun adventure for kids or grownups. The rec room is a fun addition with its bar and card table. Thanks for having outdoor games to entertain ourselves when we weren’t at the dunes playing on toys or at the beach. We will be back in the future.
