Nothing but positive things to say about this house and the hosts. We had 13 people, ranging from 3 - 68, staying at the house for a week, and it was perfect.
Some Highlights:
- The location is perfect. 3 minute walk to the beach. There's a cool cafe on the corner, where you can grab a cup of coffee and breakfast in the morning, and a cocktail in the evening. You can walk to a lot of other stuff too.
- The outdoor space is incredible. Wrap around porches upstairs and downstairs. Plenty of seating areas and places to just talk, play cards, drink, and hang out. On multiple afternoons, my wife and I just sat on the upstairs balcony and read for a few hours while drinking coffee. There's a decent grill there too. In fact, we did a lot of grilling during our stay.
- The carriage house is awesome. It has two bedrooms, a living room, and also a full kitchen and washer/dryer. This was a lifesaver. My sister stayed there with her teenage daughter and my teenage daughter. It was great.
- The layout of the house works well. Good communal spaces, but there's plenty of room for everyone to retreat for a little private time.
- The bottom floor works well for people with mobility issues. There's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom, which worked out well for my mom, who has a hard time with stairs.
- The hosts. I've stayed in a lot of places, and Tony and Deby were easily the best hosts we've ever worked with. Communicative and informative.
