This home and cottage was exactly what we were looking for! My sister and her husband along with my small family enjoyed our time here. Our host is truly incredible and thought of every little thing a family with kids needs. This place is spectacular! Luxury hotel meets coastal home. The whole house and cottage were beautifully decorated. All beds were comfy & we enjoyed all the games there were to play as a family. We will definitely be back. Thanks again for having us

About the host

Hosted by Jeanette Van Wicklen

Host profile image
We are the Van Wicklen Family from Austin, Tx. Steven is a family Dentist and Jeanette is an Interior Designer; we have 3 grown children and 2 grandsons. We have had several vacation homes in the coastal area and Colorado and love providing a welcoming vacation home for you and yours.

Why they chose this property

The location! In the historical area, close to the beach, restaurants, fishing/boating, wharf areas and the charming downtown shopping area. Plus the streets are great for those evening walks.

What makes this property unique

One story, completely fenced so it's safe for your children. The porch is so great to have and the gorgeous old oaks that surround the property are amazing. Plenty of areas indoors and outside to spread out and enjoy a family vacation.
