2nd time staying here with our adult children and 3 grandchildren. The house is exactly as advertised. Clean and roomy with a large basement space. It is a 2 min walk over the dune to the beach. A plastic walkway has been added over the dune since our last stay, which makes walking to beach so much easier. They provided plenty of sand toys for the kids, about 5 or 6 beach chairs, a wagon to load, a cooler with wheels and a couple of beach tents and umbrellas for shade, and a couple of blow up tubes. Made it very easy to lug stuff for 6 adults and 3 kids to beach. They also had 3 or 4 bikes in the garage, though we enjoyed the beach so much we never get out on those.
Used the pack n play for the baby, it was in practically brand new shape. Just brought a sheet from home for it.
This is a great house for a family with small kids as it is an easy walk back and forth with the little ones and all your beach stuff. The18 month old walked the whole way.
We enjoyed the new firepit area a few evenings and as requested by the 5 year old roasted hotdogs over the fire for lunch one day.
My only suggestion would be some additional plastic stack chairs, and another outside table to sit a few more people for outside eating, as the house accomidates 12, and the outside table accomidates 6. We did find an extra plastic table in the garage and some bag chairs, so we made it work.
Doug and Shelia are very accomidating and respond quickly. We are looking forward to coming back.
