Such a fun house! We had a great time! For August, it was so peaceful and un-crouded versus Cannon Beach. After reading previous reviews were were worried about the kitchen/usable appliances etc. and brought some kitchen gear. But everything worked fine, there were plenty of useful appliances, and we cooked several of our meals at the house without unpacking those items. Host also had bikes, so the kiddos went on rides up and down the neighborhood.
