Our extended family of 13 loved this house! There were no unpleasant surprises as the house was exactly as described. Directly across the street from the beach path, and a big pool in the back yard that easily accommodated all of us at one time when we returned from the beach. Plenty of outdoor tables, chairs and lounge chairs plus the grill and handy outdoor kitchen area encouraged us to spend much of our time outdoors by the pool if we weren't at the beach. The 1st floor living area, well-equipped kitchen and multiple dining areas were perfect gathering spaces for eating and playing games. With 4 of the bedrooms on the 2nd level, the second floor living area with ocean views, small deck, and mini kitchen was the perfect spot for a quiet cup of early morning coffee before heading out for the day. The house was clean and in good repair with many high end finishes, yet it still felt like a comfortable beach house. Lots of space for everyone to gather (the house could easily accommodate more than 13), and room enough to "escape" for a little privacy. There were books and games in several areas of the house, and the game room by the pool was a hit with our teenagers and younger kids as well as with the adults. The location within walking/biking distance to Coligny Plaza was a bonus. We highly recommend this house for a memorable vacation!
