    This was a beautiful home inside and out. Lots of amenities for a large group. Hot tub was the perfect temp, the fire pit was great (wood was available) and the kitchen has everything we needed. We loved having a bathroom in each bedroom. A group of 10 we loved the ability to have two to each room. The laundry room did have some soap available which was great since we had to do some laundry. Nice propertyThe negative:beds were not comfortable at all. The beds were hard as a rock, the futons were more comfortable but still hard. There was not any extra bedding or pillows. The towels were very thin and not very large. There were only 3 towels and washcloths to each bedroom. It would have been nice to have a few extra so we could not have to have done laundry. Things that would have been nice to know before booking: There are LOTS of cameras around the property that record with movement. Not sure if we were being watched by the owners or not and how private any of our conversations were. There was even a camera out by the fire pit. This is a security thing I’m sure but it’s not really known how many. The Host lives on the property above the garage and the third floor. We were told they would be gone for the weekend but someone was back by Sunday. This did NOT change our weekend plans or affect us in anyway, just would have been nice to have been disclosed. Rules: I’m sure it is for keeping the property looking nice and or insurance purposes but there are lots of rules.

    Our family group of 9 adults loved our stay! The home is beautiful and was exactly as pictured. The host met us shortly after arrival and check-in was a breeze. The home was immaculate with many details personally handcrafted by the host. The modern kitchen is spacious and included all the appliances and amenities needed to enjoy an extended stay. The dining table accommodated up to 10, which allowed us all to eat meals together. The beds were plenty firm, but each bedroom had its own bathroom, which was a definite plus! Some family members are making plans for a return visit to the home in the future with their own children. The home and it’s location are definitely 5 stars and we highly recommend it.

    It was a wonderful stay! The house was awesome and so huge and very clean! We stayed with our family, friends and seven children. The garden is amazing for kids. We all loved the hot tub and the short walk to the beautiful beach! We would love to stay there again! Thank you Sylwester for being such a perfect host!

    We had a great time staying here, and the house worked out perfectly for our group. The playground in the back was a big hit with the little ones, and being able to walk to the 1st St beach made for great sunsets.

    The property was amazing. The best part was every bedroom was a suite. The kitchen was amazing. The grandchildren loved the play set and the firepit. Evenings on the patio were very relaxing.Everyone wants to go back next year.

    We had a wonderful stay in this house. It was very clean and well taken care of. It was well stocked with every kitchen supply we could’ve needed. We appreciated the plastic dishes, games and toys for the kids. Every room has its own bathroom with a shower/bathtub, plus a half bath on the main floor. We loved the backyard with the hot tub, fire pit, and volleyball net. There was also a box outside full of outdoor toys, beach chairs and a beach wagon. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend this house!

    There were 10 of us with grandparents, kids, spouses,and 4 grandkids (ages 4-8). The house was beautiful just as described. There was plenty of room for everyone. The house has everything. The host was very friendly and helpful. The kids had a blast playing in the yard. It had badminton, balls, a large firepit, hammock, hot tub, and plenty of tables and chairs. There was a beach close by in walking distance. Then there were shops, restaurants, parks and large beaches a short drive away. We had a wonderful vacation and would love to stay there again!

    Extremely clean house about a half mile from the beach with all the extras, including towels, pillows, kitchen utensils, etc. Nice touch with the blue tooth speakers in the bathrooms! Please note that the house does not provide cable TV, which means you'll need to bring your own apps. The internet connection is excellent on the first floor but sketchy upstairs. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The custom woodwork is beautiful. Perfect for family get togethers. The beds are extra firm. Sylvester is very responsive and an extremely nice guy. I highly recommend this house.

    Sylwester was a wonderful host and we had a great stay! The house is beautiful and just like the photos. Things to know: Neither of the roads that lead to this home are paved. They are well maintained, but watch your speed and be prepared for some road dust. 1st St Beach, a 5-10 minute walk, is narrow and has steep stairs but not too busy. Dyckman Beach, a 4 minute drive, is a popular beach that has a parking lot and is much wider with fewer stairs. There are 2 TVs, 1 downstairs and 1 upstairs in the area outside the 4 bedrooms which also has a balcony. Upstairs, the 2 east facing bedrooms, and the 2 west facing bedrooms, each share a balcony. There are no ceiling fans in the bedrooms. We bought a fan from Meijer, which is about a 5 minute drive. The beds are VERY firm and the pillows are very thin. The bathrooms are beautiful with a night light, heated floors, and lots of storage. The Master BR Shower features a rain shower, but there are no shelves, every other bathroom has a shower caddy for toiletries. The Kitchen is huge with new appliances and lots of cabinets and cookware - although we couldn’t find a working can opener. The outdoor patio includes 2 tables with umbrellas, a covered glider seat, and a gas grill. The electric started on the grill was a little finicky. Next to the patio, the hot tub is covered with a nice gazebo and maintained daily. The entire area is visible from 1 road. The back yard is large and has a fire fit.
