Spacious and highly functional for a large group. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and access to the beach cannot be beat. The house overall is showing signs of wear and tear, and the lack of kitchen storage for food invited lots of ants to the party. Overall, though, would not hesitate to recommend.

Our favorite home!

This is our second year staying at this beautiful house and it is OUR FAVORITE. We are a family of 16 people. The house is accommodating, clean, well laid out, and cared for. The best part of this home is how the owner is so easy to contact and check in with. They make the entire stay so lovely. They also make sure to include beach chairs, boogie boards, and even a shibumi! Highly recommend. It's such a great house!!!

Great property that provides a lot of supplies for fun beach time. Very clean would have appreciated room darkening window coverings because 6:30 am bright bedrooms prevent any hope of sleeping. Would highly recommend.
