This was our first vacation as a family in forever... and James' property did NOT disappoint! First and foremost, communication with James, from beginning to end, could not have been any easier. The house was incredible! The kitchen was so spacious, dining right there and easy for kids/anyone, appliances were up to date and awesome/clean, and killer windows overlooking the expansive backyard with easy views from R to L and in every direction for kids playing while making dinner. A dream. We loved that there were two televisions in divided locations for kids and adults to watch in the evening. The screened in porch upon entry was ideal for wet/sandy/muddy items to land, keeping the house easier to maintain. As a family with two young kids, we ended up staying on the bottom floor as a family, which worked out great. There was a full bath, master suite and kids' room with bunk beds all on the first floor (a second family could easily fit on the top floor, as it had a second full bath and three other bedrooms). For our first vrbo, this exceeded our expectations. We also had a dog and the yard, though not fenced in, was GREAT for him. We went in the early spring, so a plethora of ticks and coyotes to keep in mind with small kids or pets. LOVED this property and plan to return. Activities/places we loved: local tide pool beaches right off main road and within walking distance, "Eat Cake For Breakfast" (BEATS ALL bakery open certain days/times), "Snowy Owl Coffee Roasters" within walking distance, "Fare and Just" vegan/vegetarian within walking distance, and "Stone L'Oven Pizza" also super close. This house was so central to beaches and GREAT food. Enjoy!
