Ken & Brigit were in Norway when I texted them to find out where to get the key. We exchanged several very pleasant messages that helped me to see them as more than "just" our hosts. When I asked whether there was a blender in the kitchen (our grandson wanted to make us fruit smoothies), Ken's mother Lenore actually went out and bought one! The home was immaculate and exactly as advertised. We were close to the beach and close enough to the boardwalk to get there via bicycle, even though the traffic along some of the stretch can be too harrowing for young bikers. Our grandson summed up our opinion when he said:" You know what this place is? It's a resort!" Beach and bath towels are plentiful. They even have beach chairs in the garage. The tank-less water heater kept up with all of the hot water demand that 8 people were throwing at it. I usually have problems sleeping when away from home. Not this time! The beds are super comfortable and you have to see the Master Suite to truly appreciate it. The kitchen has a high-end stove, Keurig coffee maker with a supply of pods, plenty of dishes and cutlery.

And this is his wife putting in her 2 cents worth: What a lovely place to celebrate our 50th Anniversary with our Family! It's a beautiful, tastefully decorated, well-equipped home in a lovely location. Our 7 and 8-year old grandchildren absolutely loved their charming little bedroom and the perfect pool and spa. They got hooked on playing Sorry, one of a number of possible game choices.

I was especially pleased that the secondary bedrooms were as charming and comfortable as the master and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need, right down to the salad spinner and multiple coffee makers.
