This home was absolutely beautiful!!! The pictures are very accurate. This home provided all of the necessities for a large group and people of ALL ages. We had 2 infants with us - the home came equipped with 2 high chairs. Everyone loved the game room. The themed rooms were beautiful. If you are going for a beach/summer getaway this home is perfect as it has direct beach access. The house is equipped with EVERYTHING you need for a great stay! Cons: Distance from restaurants, there aren't many restaurants near the home (or maybe they were closed for Christmas). We did get to eat at one burger spot that was close by (just wish there were more options). Gavelston is approximately 30-40 minutes away including a ferry boat ride. The ferry was actually nice and we got to see dolphins, but that's quite a drive to go out to eat or to the movie theater. The sliding barn door broke a few times during our visit, which my brother was able to fix very easily - this is likely related to the youth/teenagers having so much fun in that room, the adults wanted to keep the door closed to keep out all of the noise while we watched movies in the living room.
Had a perfect family weekend here! The house is very clean, right on the beach, and offers so many amenities!
Our Ladies Group had a Retreat. The cabin was just what we needed. Beach Access was great. The fire pit was great for just sitting and enjoying as well as making s’more. The double refrigerator was awesome for the food we brought and kept things organized. The upstairs deck was perfect for watching the sunrise and sunset
This house was very nice. Loved the easy access to beach. The open living, dining, kitchen area was nice. Main issue we had was that remotes to ceiling fans needed batteries - we made it work. Some cleanliness issues nothing major. Also would be nice to have access to freight elevator. Would definitely book again.
Very few complaints about the property and luckily the weather was perfect!! Enjoyed some local cuisine as well!!
This house was great for all our friends and family. So close to the ocean and our beach was really quiet. The decks were great and the kitchen was really well stocked. We loved it!
My son and daughter celebrated their birthdays here with a few of their friends. Everyone had a blast! They had fun hanging out in the game room and we made s’more in the fire pit, cooked hamburgers on the grill, and made meals in the well-stocked kitchen. The double refrigerators came in handy too. The house overall was spacious and beautifully decorated. The kids loved the themed bunk rooms, even with being teens. The outdoor decks were a great hangout place too. There is very easy beach access right out of the backyard gate. Be sure to wear shoes walking through the yard though as there are stickers. The beach was very nice and not crowded given the somewhat remote location. We would definitely stay here again!
Everything was great and location was nice
The house was amazing and staying right on the beach was a great experience. We had an awesome trip.
Love the house and the area. Two thumbs up and five stars for this place. I would recommend this house for anyone who ask me.
We had four families (8 adults and 10 kids). This house was great for our group with the game room, hot tub, yard and beach access. The house was great and we would rebook again!
Everything about this property is First Class! Next Family Event will be looking to stay here again.
Property was newly refurbished, very clean and fully supplied with anything required, from cooking utensils to games/recreation. Tons of space. Great location - much quieter and less crowded than further West. Owner was prompt and helpful regarding use of lift. Would definitely stay again.
This property accommodated our family perfectly. It was great for the teens to have their own private room off the playroom. It felt like we had our own private beach. The location of this house is a little ways down from the main busy area which we loved. It was the most well stocked house with pillows, blankets, and towels. The kitchen had everything you could need. It was honestly the most well stocked house I have ever rented through vrbo. We will stay here again.
Beautiful home, clean and modern, Each room has a theme and new furniture. Excellent beach location.
House was a little hard to find but they let us know that in advance. A beautiful view of the ocean from both balconies, master, living room and kitchen. Game room was a fun addition especially since it rained on our first night. We had trouble with the internet the entire time and two sinks were not working in the upstairs bathroom. The master bed was not comfortable at all but we didn’t mind. The view from the room was spectacular. Ohh and stickers in the yard, wear flips flops. It was a beautiful house and the furnishings and decor were perfect. Check in and out was really easy. There were plenty of blankets and beds for everyone. Over all, we had an amazing time and can’t wait to return.
Excellent....................except for the beach access
