House was great. Only issue we had was the truly amazing number of mosquitos in the area and flies at the beach. It's not something the house can control but definitely something we wish we'd been aware of for a June visit since the kids really couldn't spend any time outside or at the fire pit without being doused in bug spray.

Thank you for the kind review Lindy! It was lovely to host you & your family & we thank you for being respectful of our home & our house rules. We are so sorry that you encountered so many mosquittos & flies during your visit. We just never know in advance how bad they will be. We hope that you will visit us again sometime.
