We had a gathering of 3 separate couples (one with 2 small children) in this fantastic home. The family with children had the 2 upstairs bedrooms while the 2 other couples took the downstairs bedrooms. Everyone had their own bathrooms which is amazing. Not only that, there are 2 kitchens - we only used the downstairs refrigerator, but it made things so much easier. The pool table was a hit and all our skills improved:) There were books, puzzles and games for all ages. With the addition of the outdoor deck space we had plenty of choices for groupings based on needs - relax, cook, eat, naps and play from adult to floor play with toddler and baby. The weather was unseasonabley hot so we spent a lot of time at the beach, but we could all imagine never wanting to leave the house. The character is down to earth with real wood paneling everywhere, artwork, record albums and even well functioning older appliances (they don't make 'em like they used to!). We felt like we were staying in a home vs a generic rental without it feeling too personal if that makes sense. We unanimously agree its one of, if not the best home we've stayed in for a multi family gathering. With out a doubt we will be back!!! Thank you so much!
