Perfect family getaway!

Vacation went off without a hitch for a change! Checkin was a breeze and I had continuous communication with the rental company. The house has covered parking and tons of dry storage underneath so I was able to keep everything secured and was able to unpack the car in the rain without getting wet. Location was perfect, easy stroll to the beach, and everything in the house was as advertised. Perfect house on the Cape!
