We spent time on the large deck upstairs and the screened porch downstairs. There was plenty of room for 8 adults and one baby to spread out. We enjoyed the stereo set-up and our adult children enjoyed the large selection of DVD’s (many from the ‘90’s, so a trip down memory lane). The house has a ton of games, puzzles and toddler toys that we all enjoyed. Everything in the kitchen and house was clearly labeled which made it very easy to find what we needed quickly. ##### Marsha D. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Emily D.

The winding stairway might be an issue for kid traffic, but they had a kid gate to use. The spacious kitchen was nice to use. The art on the walls the cute writings posted in areas along with the beautiful woods to see thru the windows made this an outstanding experience. The walk to the beach may be a challenge to anyone who is not mobile as there are stairs to use. We had no issues. The beach is beautiful and clean. ##### Gordon T.
