Summary: Our extended family of 16 that included a mix of adults and children with ages ranging from 2.5 - 14 had a wonderful time at this seaside getaway. The house had so many quirky, historic touches from the photographs throughout the house to the architecture itself. It was a 30 second walk across the street to the beach and was an ideal location. We loved the 3 porches that looked out to the ocean - absolutely stunning. The beach chairs, umbrellas and bikes available at the house were a huge perk! A few of the bathrooms could have used new shower liners and some of the bedding could have been updated but overall awesome experience!
