This is like staying at Camp Richardson, but better! We were two doors down from the marina, and rented SUPs and kayaks nearly every day. Perfect amount of beach, and great weather.
The house was the perfect amount of space for our large family: 2 sets of grandparents, 2 sets of parents, 4 kids. Grandparents got to stay downstairs and not hike up the narrow staircase. Kids stayed in the bunk room with the parents just across the way.
The kitchen was a little tight. We used the island as the workstation and serving area. The lack of pantry was concerning at first, but we piled everything along the back counter (feeding 11 people for a week means a lot of food!). We had everything we needed to cook meals every day. We ate all of our meals on the deck at the table that was able to seat all 11 of us. The dining room table inside was used for games in the evening.
The rooms ARE small, but all you're doing is sleeping in them. Lots of fans in the house, which was greatly appreciated!
I thought not having WiFi was going to be rough, but honestly the kids didn't mind at all and it allowed is to really enjoy the outdoors and each other.
The house was recently updated, and I appreciated how clean everything was. Really comfortable beds and bedding made all the difference.
We are definitely coming back. Thank you, Painter family!
