This house and vacation could not have been any more perfect. Our host Joe and his wife were easy to get in touch with throughout the entire process. The house itself has been updated with new appliances, including a washer and dryer (bonus feature for any beach vacation) as well as an outdoor shower to help keep the sand outside. There was more than enough space to accommodate my family, which includes my wife, two children (8&3) and my inlaws. The directions to get into the house were as easy as can be and it was spotless when we arrived. The upstairs deck has great views of the ocean and beach, as well as, great views of the stars in the southern sky.
The beach is a close walk, less than five minutes, which was perfect for my 3yr old who likes to take breaks from the sun. If you are feeling adventurous you can walk over a block and float on a raft down the Swan River. We grilled a few times on the back deck and ate out at a few of the restaurants. The Sesuit Harbor Cafe (20 minute drive) offers amazing lobster rolls if you are willing to wait in line a few minutes. It is clearly the place to be on a Friday night. This house gets a 10/10 in my book.
