Great for large groups. We combined 2 families.

This is a beautiful historical home, located just about a half mile walk to the beach. There are many nice touches, like board games and beach towels. The beds were comfortable, and the set up of having four bunk beds worked so well for our situation. As an historic home, there is not central A/C, but every room has a window unit, and this really worked well to cool the place down. There are many dishes in the home, but they are all quite fancy, so if you have small children I suggest bringing paper plates and maybe some tupperware. There also weren't serving bows. The check out instructions says to take the trash out, but trash cans weren't accessible to us. We sent a message to ask about it, but never heard back. The master bedroom was a beautiful oasis.
