A great house for families with kids! Great location-- close to lots of places, but felt very removed from regular life. The dunes were beautiful and amazing lakeside beach just a short walk from the house. Amanda was very proactive sharing information and it was easy to find the property and check-in. Houses were great (we are in the main cottage and guest house). Had everything we needed, well stocked kitchen, and lots of games and books for the kids. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay with Amanda again!

We had a great stay and the location is perfect. The children loved the private beach and the sunsets were beautiful. Definitely recommend to stay to stay here and we will hopefully be back to make more memories with the family.
