Great place for big family reunion. Lots of space and a big grassy yard for kids to play games, 2 houses plus a casita was perfect for our sprawling clan. Comfortable beds and roomy living spaces, was really clean for our check-in. Plenty of kitchen supplies. Only 2 complaints: we had to wait awhile to check-in while crews pick up supplies from previous event. And the A/C was not cool in lower house so all room fans going! Easy access to beach and cool shade in yard relieved that complaint. And owner apologized for lateness. Owner very accessible and answered all questions. Yard is overgrown around back patio, very lush vegetation. Overall we do recommend this place for large groups who love the outdoors and an old-school style of living.

An old school beach bungalow, this place — on a full acre! — has well equipped kitchens for cooking family meals. There is a huge lawn including a badminton net, a valuable camellia collection, and dozens of very large, mature trees. Brick walkways lend a sense of diligent, loving, homemade care to the property. It’s a brisk 10-minute walk to Kellogg Park and beach. Low ceilings and exposed beams give a cozy atmosphere. Living room seats 12 comfortably.

This is a great stay if you do not book during a heat wave and don’t like AC. We spent Labor Day weekend here. And while the location is good, the amenities, not so much. Our number one problem was the AC or lack there of. I wish that this was mentioned in the description. Coming from Arizona, AC is VERY important. The main house has AC but it was on a “hot tub” timer and had to be “reset “ every hour. The host stated it was because the AC would be left on when folks left and he ended up with a very large electric bill. Honestly, a one night stay would cover that. The 2nd home had no AC at all. The host stated again, If we were not in a heat wave this is a great place. The host provided fans, but the property was secluded and had no circulation throughout the property unless we all stayed in the yard between the houses. At one point we put up tents just so our kids could sleep comfortable, but we were asked to move it because we were killing the grass. The host stated, the grass is probably already yellow due to the heat wave. When we left the grass was fine. No discoloration or damage. This is the only relief during the night our kids had. Including the infants. We paid to sleep outside. The fans provided didn’t push much air, they were dirt and 3 did not work. The host at first replaces one with a broken cyclone fan, and later dropped of 2 new fans. This provided little circulation. We went to bed late every night until we could tolerate the heat in the houses or slept outside. The house has ceiling fans, but they didn’t push much air either. A suggestion, install patio fan, might help move air around. DO NOT BOOK this home during a heat wave. The kitchens were not well stock for a large family gatherings. Unless you BBQ the entire time. The property did have 2 BBQ grills. There was 1 large stock pot. 2 baking sheets, 1 med bowl for mixing, some cooking utensils and that is about it. It is a good thing we brought our own pots and pans and our own paper plates/bowls and plastic utensils. It was a little bit of a hassle having food in both houses. The fridge in the main house is not very big. The 2nd house had left over food and drink in it. The dining room in the main house was crowded and you could only use half of 2 of the 3 tables in there. 2 tables could accommodate at least 6 people. Most of our family ate outside because it was so hot inside. Again, we paid to be outside. Much more can be said, but there is no room left.

We had a great time at all the 3 houses. Had everything we needed. Beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas, volleyball court, towels, enough beds, bbq area, etc. Great for all 19 of us. As other review have stated, definitely some updating however it looks like Dan (the owner) is trying to get everything ironed out. Locating is Great and we’ll definitely be back Thanks again Dan👍.

We had all 3 properties. The homes were in a great location and plenty of property for the kids. The homes need major upgrades especially new appliances. The owner was good and kept in contact. The landscape needs to be cleaned and porches powered washed.

We had a wonderful time with our children and grandchildren. We were 24 people, and finding a good location for that many is difficult. These houses are not new and fancy, but suited our group perfectly. We could walk or drive to the beach. The bigger house had room for us all to gather for meals, etc.
