Our family consists of two adults and four children between the ages of four months and five years, so the best things about Courtney's place, for us, were the close proximity to the river and the big deck. The river is perfect for little kids, with plenty of shallow water even at high tide, and a sandy riverbed. We didn't attempt the walk to town with the kids but once there, the fairy trail was a highlight. The house had a retro, beachy, slightly rustic feel. It was perfectly comfortable and nice and light. Courtney was responsive, accommodating, and lovely to deal with. Happy holidays!
