We had 7 in our group plus pups for 6 days. The Host HAS done an EXCELLENT job stocking this house with all you will need - an abundance of beach items, kitchen has more dishware and cookware than needed; and every other often needed item (irons, pack n plays, pillows, indoor games etc.) No "doggie" smell - none at all so a big THANK YOU for allowing pets and keeping the home so odor free! Down side - almost over-providing at the expense of the guest. On main level, neither of the two BRs had usable closet space at all (one was completely blocked by bunk beds and the other was FULL of baby items). None of the BRs had dressers and are on the small side so spending a week having to live out of the suitcases in the little available floor space was not the best. Not a big deal if just staying 1-2 nights but after a 5 nights it gets old. Compounding this, the home has been optimized to allow for 12-14 guests - squeezing Bunks and Trundles into little BRs, completely blocking the deck access in one (that is a NO-NO). With only 1 indoor living area, there really was nowhere to "escape" to. The pantry was so full of dishes and no proper shelving - nowhere to unload groceries. Shades are needed in upper windows to help A/C work. Lower patio is awesome but with 100F+ days it needed ceiling fans. Fridge not as pictured. This is a lovely family home, albeit aged, but is not caliber beach destination that we seek. All that said we had great time and appreciate the Host/home!
