When we first arrived, the house looked really cool. Everyone was eager to explore the home and choose their rooms. The house is great and the best part of the home is the open plan with the kitchen and living room opening out to the backyard patio. It was great for having everyone together and roasting marshmallows. The kids loved the hammocks. Overall, the house is very accomadating for 8-10 people including kids. The location is awesome and just a couple minutes walk to the beach. I would definitely recommend this home.
