So many wonderful things to write about!! Beautiful old house with plenty of space for our 3 generation family of ten. So close to the beach. We were there during the heat wave but the house had air conditioning, and the beach provided a breeze and excellent waves for boogie boarding! It was a quick walk to the pier and downtown, and also close to restaurants in the other direction. Having 5 bedrooms was so helpful as well. The kitchen was stocked with anything and everything we needed, and it was nice to have the grill as well! If you want a host that is responsive, this is the place for you!My kids and grandkids all said it was the best vacation EVER and we have gone to different places every year! The praise keeps coming in! We ALL highly recommend this wonderful place!
