Family Trip 2025

We traveled with a group that consisted of 5 different families. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out during the day and then plenty of beds when it was time to sleep. The dining room and kitchen was great for hosting dinners. The backyard space was fantastic for the kids to hang out in and get to run around. The location of the home was convenient for the beach, outlet mall, grocery stores, and more! The owners were great to work with and very quick to respond.

The overall house was inviting, clean, updated, and had plenty of room. Upon arrival we noticed the floors had sandy grit on them and were extremely dirty when walking, the pillows are very thin and seemed old, and not all jets were working in the hot tub. One set of sheets on a bed had stains as well. We did have two people with us that were handicapped so it was difficult for them to get in and out of the main floor shower area as it has a high tub. A suggestion would be to put handicap bars in this bathroom or completely get rid of the tub and use a walk-in shower. There was also a hole in one of the bedroom walls from the door handle. Again, this house is overall very nice but in a very questionable neighborhood.

Our group of ladies have been doing wk end “girls” trips for 25 years and this place was perfect for our group. Freshly remodeled. Clean and stocked. So many bedrooms and bathrooms, we all had space. Super large dining table with room for all to eat together. We never tried the hot tub but appreciated it being included. Close to the outlets and casino. We enjoyed some local restaurants too. Thanks for a great stay.

Fantastic home

We did another ladies weekend here, and we plan to go back again next year! House is spacious, clean, has everything we need other than the food, and the hot tub was icing on the cake! It is very echoing in the upstairs, if people are downstairs, so just bring a noise machine if that bothers you. We loved our stay here, and plan to make this a yearly trip!

Extended Family Meet-up

We had a total group of 16 (4 separate families) stay and the dining, bedroom, and bathroom spaces were great! Good balance of adequate shared space and separate areas when we needed a little quieter time (or for the teenagers). Only had to reach the house once and Karen responded quickly. Would definitely recommend and are considering a return in the future.
