Our party of 8, including 3 kids plus two little dogs had a fabulous time. There were enough spaces for us to chill separately or hang together. The pool was all the entertainment our kids needed! The dogs were insanely happy on the dog friendly end of Tallow beach (walking distance) as well as padding about on the grounds of the house. Our little dog could squeeze between the palings of the fence so we would not have left them out on their own. Plenty of little personal touches. A great home
