Great place for a big family!
We had a great time with our four generations of family! Very spacious with room to spread out but to also be together as a big family. The amenities were great and we have a wonderful time. I'd recommend this to any large group looking for a comfy, large and affordable place!

Beautiful property
Sursum Corda housed this year's family reunion, about 20 adults and 2 children. There was just enough space for us. A few of the one-person bedrooms did not have windows but were cozy and small fans were provided to create air circulation. The building itself was clean, simple and cozy. The property available to guests includes 2 fire pit areas and a lovely 1/4 mile loop walk tthrough some very serene woods. The proximity to the beach was great. The beach was clean, wide, and with fine sand. It was one of our best reunions yet.

Accommodation for large group near beach!
I booked this property for a multi generational family retreat of sorts, though I personally was unable to attend due to health reasons. All communication I had with Carol was pleasant and responsive. When my family arrived, they informed me the cleanliness of the home was questionable and they were unsure if it had been cleaned prior to their arrival. I did not view the home personally but reviewed some photos. I will say that for such a large property near the beach at a reasonable price with a low cleaning fee, the basic cleanliness was fair for this sort of rental. Certainly not luxury by any means and could use some attention and deep clean. As I understand, the communication with Carol was a bit tense when cleanliness was brought up, with Carol suggesting our family could just check out if they were unhappy with the home. My family ended up staying for 4 nights and had a nice time connecting with each other and enjoying the beach. The property was large enough for our needs (5 families with ages ranging from 4-75). There were many rooms and Carol accommodated different bed configurations to meet our needs. As I was not there in person, I cannot recommend one way or the other, but I will extend a thank you to Carol for hosting a space where my family could make some memories.

A Wonderful Experience
What a wonderful experience. Our church has had our women's retreat here for several years. This is the perfect place. Location by the beach. Separate beds for each of our women. A large kitchen and dining room that allows us space to eat together. A large living room for conversations. I large TV room with ample seating options. It's just the perfect place. The owner is a gem as well. So accomadating and nice. It really is the best place to have a retreat for a large group. :)

Ladies Retreat
We are a group from 87 to 7 there was 20 of us. The house is perfect the upstairs is big enough for cooking a meal together tables enough to do classes or craft. Then you have the downstairs for the teens and young adults. Carol is amazing easy to talk to and is always available. Thank you so much this is our 3rd ladies retreat here and we will be back next year.

Relaxing and beautiful!
It's been such a pleasure to enjoy our board game retreat for the 2nd year in a row. This space is so welcoming and gorgeous! It's lovely to have space to roam around and not be stacked on each other like other properties. Our whole group loves it here and we hope to come back every year for the peaceful vibe of the property. Thanks again, Carol!
