Summary: Perfect home for our family! Grandparents, 2 adult children and spouses, 4 grands under age 6! And a German shepherd who loves to swim in ocean. Each family had their own suite with bathrooms. Beach access is ideal, house is well-stocked for cooking and gathering. We loved being together in such beautiful surroundings. Hope to return often!
