The photos were accurate, it is a lovely house with lots of space, the kitchen is well appointed and we loved playing the board games provided. There are TVs and air conditioning in both bedrooms, which was appreciated. It was so peaceful to sit outside amongst the trees and just relax. It’s close to town and some great beaches, but we enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle. Thanks so much, our family really enjoyed our long weekend away. ##### Samara J.
