The house was wonderful! Very clean and well stocked. There were plenty of extra beach toys downstairs and cooking supplies in the kitchen, though you may want to bring Tupperware if you’re wanting to store food. Plenty of glass and plastic dishes. We had three families and the division of the rooms was perfect for our crew with kids ages 4, 5, and 8. The beach is just a few steps away and very quiet. The kids really enjoyed the nook in the master bedroom with the twin trundle beds. It took us a hot minute to figure out how to turn on the master shower (it was us, it’s not hard) but the host was very responsive. We would absolutely stay again :)
