We loved this house! There were 14 adults, it was spacious, everyone loved the pool, easy walk to the beach (my 84 year old Aunt, made the walk easily), it was also close to grocery and souvenir shops. I highly recommend this house for your family gatherings!

My family of 11 really enjoyed this house. The pool is such a nice feature. The house is a bit dated but has incredible space! Bedrooms are huge and it has so much seating. Only 1 flight of steps which is also nice. We appreciated the 2 refrigerators and library of great books as well. Located on a quiet street and easy walk to the beach. You won’t be short on space or beds in this house!! We would definitely stay again.

A fantastic place for a large group of friends or family to stay. Only feedback are the instructions on the fridge for checkout did not match the provided instructions in email.

Other than the sandy floors upon arrival, the house was nice. The neighbors have an outdoor cat enclosure, and luckily for us, the cats were never out when we took our dogs out, but it would have been nice to know this ahead of time. Others with dogs who are not cat friendly should know this. Overall, our stay was nice and enjoyable! The house was plenty big for our group!

We absolutely loved this home. It was clean, spacious, beautiful. Comfy beds, near the beach, lovely pool area. Our big family fit perfectly in this home. We will love to book again for next year. Loved that it was pet friendly because we got to peing our two dogs.

House was not clean, roaches dead thank goodness, not equipped for someone that wants to cook !! I had to buy cooking Utensils from the dollar store and left them for next guest!! Shower curtain had mold on it! And down stairs queen bed room ceiling looks awful gross !!

I was very disappointed, I walked in to the property seeing water bugs crawling around, spider webs soiled spots, and a mildew odor in the basement.

We had a great time at our wedding weekend staying at this VRBO! There was so much space and the layout was perfect for a large group. Only thing I would say is watch out for bugs, but it is in the woods so it makes sense.

Overall the house was nice and worked well for our family. The pool was fun and clean and the location was very nice for beach fun. The kitchen needs some help but I blame this mostly on renters not the owners. People leave stuff there (food and half used things) that does nothing but attract insects and leaves no space at all for new renters to put their groceries. There is no pantry or empty cabinet to be found. Utensils need upgrading and pot holders or oven mitts need to be purchased. I also wish there was an outside shower as it was very hard to keep sand out of the house. We had a good time and in the end that was really the goal.

A Great Emerald Stay!
My family and I really loved this house and our stay for the week there. It had everything we were looking for: beach access, a pool, a ping pong table, and a pool table. It even had a children's room attached to the master which was perfect for my family! Everything was also clean and sealed when we arrived, so we felt super comfortable there during our stay. We really had a lot of fun with all of the amenities, and we will definitely be keeping this house in mind for future family vacations!

Beautiful beach
The home is very spacious and was clean when we arrived.
I might suggest, however, that you hire a new pest control company.
Also, the kitchen, in a house so large, could use some additional cups and a larger toaster, to mention a couple of things.

My friends and I enjoyed staying here. It was in a quiet neighborhood, but also a short walk to the beach. The house layout was unique and fun, and able to fit everyone comfortably. The pool area was a highlight, but my friends and I also enjoyed the pool table and ping pong set. I highly recommend this house.

Wonderful Family Celebration
Having a family gathering to include very young children the open, spacious floor plan upstairs and downstairs (once the step into the dining area was ingrained into maneuvering) was extremely to our liking. Everyone was able to find their own space, if needed, at any time. The large bedrooms with walk-in closets were very helpful in deciding where the pack-n-play sleepers could be set up for the toddlers. There was plentiful hot water for all the showers. The large capacity washer and dryer were wonderful and well used. The 4th bedroom could possibly use another nightstand for a bedside light as the ceiling lights above the bed were not working. We did find an oscillating fan we moved into the room when temperatures got a little warmer. We would definitely highly promote this house to any multi-family gatherings. Perfect 5 minute walk to beach and pool too!

Perfect for a group of golfers
My group of golf buddies found this location for our annual golf trip. The layout of the house was perfect for 12 golfers to reconnect. The pool area is amazing. I would recommend this property and owner.

Overall we had a good time, the location is good and the big stuff worked. We did have some issues with cleanliness. We found roaches as soon as we entered, some of the towels smelled horribly of smoke, we had to rewash most of the dishes/silverware we used due to a weird film. There's also a bunch of little stuff that drove us nuts. Hooks broken in most bathrooms so hanging up things to dry was annoying, the ice maker didn't work, stove was among the most inconsistent I've ever used (even in a crappy apartment), and one of the downstairs mattresses was pretty bad. There were also no mats by the doors so it was hard not to track in sand, and an outdoor shower would be a good thing to add since the hose is not convenient to access.
As I said in the beginning, the location is pretty great and we still had a lot of fun during our stay. We just had the feeling of penny pinching the whole weekend that dampened our enjoyment to some degree. There's a lot of things that could be fixed with minimal cost to improve the experience for guests.

Awesome house for a large group
The house is massive and could easily handle the 18 people we had. The pool area is perfect for hanging at after a day at the beach

Great, if quirky, property.
A fun property in a good location on the island. It’s a huge house, which was originally built in the mid-80s (we were curious so we looked it up) by someone who clearly loved brass in his bathrooms and mirrors in his bedroom. Yep, seriously.
The pool is fantastic, really top notch, and located in such a way that bugs just didn’t land and clutter the pool every evening—which has been been our experience in literally every other outdoor pool we’ve seen. It must be magic.
Lots of space for families to spread out and never see each other for a week except, possibly, for dinner. There are games, game tables, TVs in every room (except, oddly, the main living space, which was fine because we didn’t want to watch TV, but should be noted), a nice well stocked kitchen, and lots and lots of comfortable seating. Probably seating for 100 in the house. It’s like a furniture store. Yes, I’m exaggerating, but there are lots of couches. Just sayin’ someone must have been having a sale.
One thing we felt needed to be pointed out to potential renters (and this is a first for me writing this warning in a short-term rental review): beware of tripping hazards throughout the main floor. Literally every single one of us tripped at least once on one of the slightly unpredictable 4” step-ups in the house. I only mention this because we had originally planned for a larger family group including our 80-year-old parents, who decided not to travel because of COVID. That could have ended our vacation abruptly if one of our beloved parents bit the dirt on the kitchen floor.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and wish the new owners lots of success with the property!
P.S. Even our dog tripped.

Everything was as advertised, and them some. With 3 kids 3 and under, we ended up using the pool a lot more than going to the beach - and it was a great week for everyone!

The owner Jason was amazing and I really cannot thank him enough. It was great for my family in town for a wedding at the Islander Hotel. Very spacious, quiet, so many amenities- I look forward to seeing what else they are planning to do with this place. Pool was great with lots of sunshine and the lights over the pool were perfect. The property manager Drew went above and beyond to give us a hand after hours- two beach accesses very close and privacy surrounding us when we were at the house. Great for large families with and without young children!
