Fantastic location and amenities for a family reunion! We were in awe at how many rooms there were here, and seating/eating areas for a group. The beds were comfy, SO many bathrooms and showers, house was well appointed, and the grounds were lovely to explore. We plan on booking our family gatherings here every year now. Carol was so welcoming and helpful, thank you for sharing your wonderful VRBO!

This was our 4th year staying in Carol's beautiful property. The properu is beautiful and so well kept. Super clean and comfotable. The pripery is so well-stocked so it makes it easy for us to cook for everyone. We always come away feeling relaxed after visiting and adore the lovely guides she leaves for us, such as the forest trail and meditations. We highly recommended the property and out kind host.

Sursum Corda "Christmas in July"

Plenty of space and lovely accommodations. We trekked through the woods on the hiking trail, walked the labyrinth to serenity, made all the sweet s'mores we could handle, and enjoyed the beautiful beaches. What a wonderful space to reconnect with God and each other. Blessings!

Huge accommodating place

House is huge. This is probably the only house I’ve been to that had lots of things in the kitchen such as pots and pans, utensils, and just the plain necessities. Quick access to beaches. Had a great experience and would return again.

Lovely is the best way to describe this location. Well designed to comfortably fit and feed a large party (we had 22 including adults and children and could have easily fit 4 more people. Well appointed, comfortable furnishings, authentic to the location... not new or fancy but well maintained and fully stocked. Good size kitchen, plenty of dishes and supplies. Place for children to run around and kick a ball, play basketball or badminton, or swing on the various hidden swings. The yurt was great for a sleepaway for the kids. Good access to various beaches up and down the coast. Great, generous hosts. I highly recommend this place. We had a lovely, week-long stay.

We had a great time with our four generations of family! Very spacious with room to spread out but to also be together as a big family. The amenities were great and we have a wonderful time. I'd recommend this to any large group looking for a comfy, large and affordable place!
