Our stay included 4 adults and 2 children. The property is gated and fenced, including the large balcony area. IE I felt the balcony was safe for our children, ages 6 & 12. The front yard and driveway/parking area are behind the gates. The back yard extends almost to the beach with a fire pit and chairs. The fire pit is outside the gated area. The home is very comfortable and well stocked. Do not let the velvet couches fool you … they are clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and the game room has lots of toys, games and videos.Bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and stocked with all the amenities, plenty of towels and toilet paper.The house needs a bit of work but remember this is the seaside and the salty air does accelerate rusting. The BBQ (which we did not use) probably needs replacing and a working lock installed on the upstairs sliding door. Minor issues.We enjoyed our stay and there is nothing that would prevent us from staying here again.Please note that large animals, including bears, are common in this area. Each evening we saw 2 black bears roaming the far edge of the lawn near the beach. They completely ignored us.I would give this home 9 stars out of 10. It would be a 10 after some minor repairs.
