We really enjoyed our stay! The hosts were very accommodating and responsive to questions we had. The neighborhood was quiet and great to walk around. Beautiful views of the sound. Great place to stay with a large family! Enough space for everyone and walking distance to ice cream and the beach!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay! We really loved the pool and the tub during our rainy stay! The host was super responsive and kind enough to let us check in earlier on the first floor. Just a heads up that checkout is at 10AM and check-in is at 4PM.Due to heavy storms during our stay, we spent quite a bit of time inside the rental and because of that, we noticed the wifi was pretty weak and thought that throw blankets in the main living area would have been nice for movie/hangout time on rainy days, that surely would be a great addition for future guests! We also run into a good amount of ants indoors, although that very well could have been caused by all the rain pushing them inside.Thanks to the host for being responsive and accommodating!

We loved our stay here. The location was perfect for accessing the beach and the guys and kids enjoyed fishing off the pier at night. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our extended family of 16. When the third floor had an AC issue Chris was prompt in getting someone out to fix it. Highly recommend.

minor details

Overall, this was a very nice house for a large family. However, the owner needs to be more active in the care and housekeeping of the property. When we arrived the floors under the beds were raising a family of dust bunnies and several of the bathroom counters tops had sand on them. We brought these issues to the owner's attention and for the most part they were resolved. Be aware that the beach is, when you get to the beach access, is still 200+yards of loose sand to get through with chairs or any other beach toys.

Very Responsive

The house and location were great, but I want to highlight their responsiveness. Every time I had a question, they responded quickly. That was even more important when the first car of my group arrived. They had trouble figuring out where to enter the code to enter the door, even though the keypad was on the door. I wasn't there so I couldn't help them find it. I sent a message to the owner asking for help, and they responded quickly. They directed me to a website with a picture of the keypad. I sent that to my guests and they got in quickly. Please keep in mind, the keypad is right on the door. I still find it funny they could find it.
