Great Family Vacation spot!

We had the best time on our family vacation! We had 7 adults and 6 kids and this house was perfect for all of us. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable for all. The kitchen/living room space was perfect for spending time together for meals and hangout time. The pool was right across from the house which made it so easy to access with kids. And the beach walk was super easy, truly a 3 minute walk. The beach was beautiful and the hosts were Super helpful and had quick responses when we needed anything. I would highly recommend this spot for your next vacation and we hope to come back another time!

2nd year we've stayed in this beautiful house. Open kitchen & living area makes it easy to come together & prepare meals, also grilling out back & playing cornhole. Bedrooms are laid out to fit large family with even in law or teenager apt separate from main house. Love the bunkroom area fit 3 boys nicely age 7- 13. Lg bathrooms, laundry area also.

Squeeze the Day!

Squeeze the Day! was our family theme for the week and this property exemplified the wonderful experience we had! It was so spacious, clean, offered easy access to the beach, pool, tennis court, and more. It allowed our family to experience so much togetherness in the main family room while offering each family their own space when they wanted some alone time. I highly recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by Cecilia Byndloss

Host profile image
Our family has always vacationed with eight or more persons. We had multiple age groups, family or friends around. Being on the BEACH is our joy! Our most memorable vacations is when everyone can do their own thing, a location where there is a lot to do as well as being able to relax in a home environment where we could cook or order in. Just getting away from our home/work and decompressing. We have tried to create a retreat with this in mind. Family and friends getting together enjoying conversations, exercise, lounging on beach or by the pool, talking in the morning over bagels and coffee, and enjoying you evening eating with friends to finally retire to your own bedroom retreat to read or relax. We invite you in.
