We visited with the whole family--grandparents, aunts, uncles, and kids. Everything was perfect and exactly as described. Everything in the house is of very high quality, from the pool and hot tub to the kitchen and game room. Highly recommended!

This is a beautiful home. However, it needs some upkeep. We visited this home in March and then again in July. Some things that were broken had not been fixed. Such as the floor heating grates (broken and dangerous for small kids) and the toilet roll holder in the master suite (that fell off the wall both in March and July). Some one broke the doors between the office and the master bedroom but it was just left for us to deal with. The game room in the basement is nice. But one of the skeeball machines was broken. Which kinda takes the fun out of competing against another peron. The pool is amazing and we had no problems with that. I expect the home to be well stocked for the amount that we pay per week. It was not well stocked. We had to purchase paper towels and toilet paper. There was no coffee or oil. Lastly, the recycle bins were full the whole time that we were there. We had no choice but to put all the garbage together and we did not have adequate storage for the trash we accumilated. That said we still had a good time being with the family.

Perfect location of privacy with the convenience of close restaurants, stores, and activities for our family gathering. Ages ranging from 76 to 8 years old. This property offered a great variety of activities onsite for both our sunny and rainy days. The kitchen was equipped to cook and feed our group of thirteen. The sleeping accommodations worked for our family. Some bedrooms required sharing a bathroom (not an issue for our family, just something to know depending upon the group). The twin beds are either in a hallway or through another bedroom, which the kids loved. We would definitely rent again as the house offered plenty of retreat areas for our large group. Thank you Kerri and John for being excellent hosts during our stay!

Our large family usually does our summer trip to the Cape. This year we decided to venture off the beaten path and holy cow am I glad we did! The photos alone do not do this home justice. They show the basics but there is so much more. The closet space in this home could easily have been used for another 6 bedrooms. All bathrooms were gorgeous and the shower pressure was better than a five star hotel. Don't bother bringing any kitchen utensils or anything for grilling. There is more than enough of everything. The beds in the upstairs rooms are queens (other than the full bed in the pink room). We had gorgeous weather so spent most of our time outside. We fully utilized the pool house covered area, lounge chairs, couch set by the fire place, rocking chairs and wooden dining table. The pool is glorious! It truly is heated (if you choose). Hot tub was great too. The pool house has a stereo system that covers the entire back of the house. You can Bluetooth to your phone and listen to whatever you choose in surround sound. Need extra refrigerator space? You've got a sub zero kitchen fridge, upstairs regular size fridge, full fridge in the pool house, mini fridges in the game room and upstairs bar area. We used them all! Having laundry upstairs and downstairs was great. John, the groundskeeper, is very responsive and addressed any issues that arose in a timely manner. We loved this home so much that we booked for 2025 before I stay was even complete.

The amazing game room, large movie theater, and terrific pool and hot tub were the high points for our grandchildren, ages 10 - 18. The adults also enjoyed the tennis court and the beautiful grounds. The house is super close to shopping, restaurants, and all types of entertainment. The property manager and caretaker were very responsive and helpful. We couldn't have found a more ideal setting for our family reunion.

This was our second stay at the property. We had a wonderful time. Lots of space to spread out and hang out. The pool and hot tub are great on a sunny day. The caretaker, John, is extremely responsive and pleasant to work with. Would definitely stay again.

Our family came together at this gorgeous spot for a milestone wedding anniversary. Grown ups, teenagers, and children alike had a wonderful time enjoying all the amenities (tennis, basketball, pool, game room, movie theater). There was so much to do and the estate was emaculate. 5 stars.
