We enjoyed a family birthday weekend at Riptide. It was a spacious beach house in a lovely established garden setting. The location was very peaceful and we particularly enjoyed the view of the hills from the second story. The closest beach was a bit hard to access for the elderly/young children (undulating dunes) but many good spots within a short drive. We drove the 15 minutes into Rye to do our grocery shopping rather than the 5-minute drive to the local general store (nothing really in walking distance). We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away and birthday lunch on the deck was particularly special. Thanks Blair for making us welcome.
