Summary: This was our first family vacation in 10 years and I will say it was amazing. The house was perfect. Steps away from the beach. When you look at the listing you never know what you are going to get but I will say everything stated was there. We cooked in every night and had plenty of cookware. Kitchen was fully stocked!! We had 2 little ones with us and it was perfect being so close to the beach and the rooms worked out great for us. The table fitted all of us so dinners and family game night was great!!! Highly recommend this house to all!!! We actually had a visitor come to our door who is renting the house next year…he was super nice and also loved the house!!!
