A wonderful home to vacation! Barbara and Rob are very reachable and are quick to respond with any issue or advice, before, during, and after our stay!
We are a family of: (2) grandparents; (2) adult children and their spouses; (1) adult niece; (5) grandchildren ages 2 years - 9 years. This home has everything to make it special: lovely to look at, warm and inviting; furniture that you are not afraid to sit on or use; well maintained with lots of towels and sheets and clean, clean, clean; well-stocked kitchen; a full-size washer and dryer in the mud room; (6) bedrooms, with comfortable beds enough for all of us; (4) bathrooms, (2) of which are ensuite. There is a loft with a double bed that the children love to use to play "fort" or where the big kids go so the little kids do not interrupt their Star Wars play!
The pool in the backyard is a hit with the kids and the adults! With so many ages, there is always a nap time involved. The child can nap while the children play in the pool, then we get to go back to the beach! The beach has great waves for the older children and a pond close by that the younger ones enjoy. There are 2 kayaks at the house that we take for rides around the pond. The kids love that!
The golf course is an easy walk from the house. The golfers in the group love that. They play early in the AM almost before the kids are awake, and are back in time for beach or pool or trip into town.
The yard is the perfect place for a baseball game, a game of catch, water balloon fights, lighting sparklers, catching lightning bugs, etc., etc..
A trip to Cisco Breweries is always a hit with everyone. The music, the fun, the food, all are enjoyed by everyone. It is also a quick walk from the house, as well as Bartlett's Farm.
Fine dining is not an option with all the kids, so we usually make sure we get to The Tavern at least once and The Lobster Pot is an annual treat! And of course the ice cream at Stars is a must, as well as Aunt Leah's Fudge!
The adults in the group prefer Straight Wharf Restaurant or the fine dining at The Cliffside, but these days are mostly time to spend with the whole family. Our children live in Chicago and LA so our times together are special. This house and this island that we love so much, is the perfect place to unwind, relax, and enjoy each other's company!
We do not hesitate to recommend this home to any group or family! For this multi-generational family this home is PERFECT!!
