Great property, easy to find

Our family stayed at this property including an infant and really enjoyed the house. It was a nice retreat from the bustle of the event we were here for and super close to the beach and Four Square if we needed anything. Levin and Foxton are short drives away, very convenient. the Rooms were furnished nicely and everything was clean and easy use. The hosts were easy to deal with, clear instructions and very responsive. Thanks for a great stay!
