Our family had a great time in “The Gathering Place.” The rooms were large and comfy. It was clean and kitchen was well stocked. It had essentials already there so didn’t have to buy stuff like our last VRBO i.e. dish and washing machine soap, toilet paper, paper towels and hand soap. Angela was prompt with replies to questions. The beach was a further walk than I thought it would be though but that was not a terrible problem. . Kids loved pickleball courts. We did have some problems making the tv’s work. Couldn’t get basement one to work. Without tech-savvy people would not have made upstarts work. All in all, great place!!!!

Great stay for family and friend get together

This home was perfect for our large end of summer family and friends get together. Plenty of room for us to be together when desired and to branch off into other areas in the home for smaller groups. We would definitely stay here again for our annual trip next year.

It was a perfect location for our family to be together to remember our mother and grandmother. Being able to stay in the same house made it easier for us. The house was just as described and nothing was missing.
