Family Trip 2025

We traveled with a group that consisted of 5 different families. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out during the day and then plenty of beds when it was time to sleep. The dining room and kitchen was great for hosting dinners. The backyard space was fantastic for the kids to hang out in and get to run around. The location of the home was convenient for the beach, outlet mall, grocery stores, and more! The owners were great to work with and very quick to respond.

Big family house

Ideal size and clean as advertised. Our family had enough space and room given the many bedrooms and bathrooms. Hot tub was a plus. Large dining room table allowed us to gather and eat together. Karen was very kind and easy with communication.
