Amazing accommodations
My family & I booked a last minute booking due to a death in the family. We we're throughly impress with the house. The house had all the things we needed. Mr Russell was awesome. He was very responsive to my questions & needs. The outside pictures did not do the house justice. We're already in communication for upcoming stays. Thanks for making our stay pleasurable.

Perfect for our crew!
Our group of 15 celebrated an early family Christmas in this beautiful home. We had plenty of room to spread out, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was a very generous size to prepare and serve meals for all our crew. The kids, ages 5-13, enjoyed the game room and loft area, and the weather provided one nice night to have a bonfire outside in the nicely provided fire pit. We did bring our own wood. Minor issues included missing key items in the kitchen, (corkscrew, hot pads, oven mits, cookie sheet, and salt and pepper), and some areas (floors and baseboards) that needed some additional cleaning. Overall, for us anyway, the weekend was perfect!

Perfect for a family gathering!
We rented the home to bring extended family together with an elder who “missed her family.” This was the perfect home to grant her that wish as well as provide a great getaway for our family! The children loved the video games and third floor dedicated to them and the adults loved the patio and open floor plan on the main level.

Girls getaway
The house itself is pretty great. Lots of bedrooms and beds and lots of bathrooms. There some basics you would expect that were missing: something to hang your towel on in the bathroom; something to hang your clothes on in the bedroom; an oven mitt; a corkscrew; a box of tissues; a bar of soap or body wash for the shower (each bath had one very small bar of soap for both the sink and the shower). There were no paper towels although they were on the list of things provided and the provided coffee was less than enough to make one pot. The oddest finding, however, was a recently patched ceiling in a downstairs bathroom that had not been painted and a floor covered in sheetrock smudges and footprints. This house could be fabulous for big groups and even has stuff for kids but they need to pay a little more attention to the details of staying away from home. The little things can make a stay!

Big House for a Big Family
This house is very spacious and beautiful inside and out. It’s very centrally located, not far from the beach/seawall or The Strand. The house was not as clean as expected upon arrival (bathrooms were not clean) and it sleeps 23 people but there is not even 1 pot/pan to cook with (glad I brought 2 of my own) and not many cooking utensils . There was everything else you would need in the kitchen. The pool in the backyard was a hit with the kids and the fire pit was also a nice touch. Communication with the owner/manager was great. Would definitely stay here again.
