This house was just perfect for us, twelve family members celebrating our 50 anniversary. It is just what one hopes for—roomy, bright, light, open, pretty, well-equipped, and not stuffed with extra things, just some lovely artistic items. The rooms were large and many--there were two separate sitting areas in addition to the wonderful great room, including a TV room next to the great room and a large room at the other end of the house where a daughter-in-law did some work. The great room looked out onto the tree tops and had easy access to the wraparound deck--there were decks throughout the house and almost every room had sliding door access to them--and had a fantastic kitchen area that was amply roomy for the many cooks in our family to work together, with stools at the huge island for conversation with the cooks. The excellent grill was right out the door behind a very large, attractive dining table and chairs, which allowed us all to be together throughout meal preparations. I also liked that there were not posted cautions or directions throughout the house, which takes away from the homeyness of a rental house. The house had high quality utensils and pots and pans, pretty dishes, and artistic serving dishes, too. And the linens were lovely, including plenty of beach towels and adorable shower curtains. The four adult bikes were very good, and a jogging stroller and Port-a-Crib helped a lot, since the parents of the young children had to come without a car or bikes. The location was superb, too. We hopped on our bikes for a five minute ride down to the beautiful beach for a swim and to catch the sunsets, which were magnificent. Our youngest member of the family, who is 16 months old, couldn't take her eyes off the sky, calling "Wow!" The owner could not have been nicer or more helpful throughout the process of the rental and our stay in her home. We will certainly be back! It was so hard to leave!
