Extremely family friendly. Absolutely beautiful location, close by with a country feel. Sitting out on the front porch rocking chairs and enjoying the horses was wonderful. Audra was a wonderful host, responded quickly, and was so nice! Looking forward to the next time we are in Wanchese to stay at the cutest place!!!
