Parents 50th anniversary family get together
My husband and I booked this house for my parents 50th anniversary giving my siblings and I a place to celebrate. The host was beyond accomodating and was always available for and questions and concerns. The house was amazing for our family, great location and neighborhood. We enjoyed the private access to the beach and local attractions all while having a cozy house to come home to. The hot tub proved excellent for some relaxation surronded by absolutely stunning scenery. There were plenty of rooms to give everyone their own individual space but there were also great common areas to gather amd spend quality time together as a family. We were able to cook all together and enjoy our meals in the spacious dinning area. The outside fire pit was a family favorite with gorgeous string lights making it feel enchanted. I would recommend this house and especially this host who was beyond accomodating to all our needs. My husband and I are already disucussing visiting the area again and when we do we will definitely rent this space again!!
