The layout of the house was perfect for 10 adults and 4 kids (all under the age of 3). Having everything on one floor ensured that the children were safe. The open layout allowed for lots of play and relaxation. There were plenty of toys there to keep the kids busy. Those who wanted to get away for a little peace and quiet had the guest house space available.
The large kitchen and outdoor grilling area provided enough space for lots of cooking to take place for our large group. There were plenty of utensils, plates, cups, etc for everyone. They even have kid friendly plates and utensils available.
Each bedroom had ample space for adults and children.
The decor, in general, is simple and modern. The 5 bathrooms are well designed and had just enough towels for our group.
The central air was delightful after spending time outside in the 90+ degree heat.
While outside, we utilized the fire pit, the paddle boards, the kayaks, and the fenced-in lawn. The water was very quiet and calm. There were rarely any other people out. We did not swim in the water, as it was very brown.
Between the view, the water, the
space, and the televisions we did not need the internet. A few members of our group did end up using their hotspots in order to do some work while we were there.
While the town itself leaves much to be desired, we did end up at Ice House Brewery for some food and trivia on Thursday night. A few members of our group also found the beach in the town to be a nice place to spend an hour or two. We also ventured ten minutes down the road to Ingelside Winery for some snacks and wine. George Washington’s birthplace was a nice place to visit and walk around. Having the Food Lion and an ABC store only a few minutes away made grocery shopping easy.
We recommend this house for large groups, especially with children, who are looking to spend some quality time together.
