This home was beautiful, comfortable for our large extended family, and so convenient to the ocean! We enjoyed our little walks through the trail off the back of the property. The private beach was never crowded, the waves were gentle for our young children, and the sunsets were gorgeous. We appreciated the plethora of bedrooms and gathering spaces (3 living rooms!) The way the house was set up, in two wings divided by a central family room with doors on each side, was perfect for our family. That way our kids could go to bed earlier and not be woken up - and when *they* woke up earlier, we never bothered the late-sleeper-inners.The outdoor shower was nice and warm for rinsing off the sand, and we usually came in through the dining/sunroom so that we wouldn't get any remaining debris in the main parts of the house. We loved the fire pit for roasting s'mores all together.As a host, Neil was very responsive. Although checking out at 9:00am felt early and a little stressful for such a large group, he did waive a couple of the tasks to make it easier for us. That was much appreciated.If you're considering this home for your vacation, we would highly recommend it! It was a wonderful stay.
