First, the house is on the beach so that we can wake up to sunrise every morning.Second, the house is large enough that the 11 of us can be together in the main room and kitchen area, or we can have sufficient space for time alone in the large, well-furnished bedrooms.

The location and parking were great. It was close to shopping and restaurants. The house was adequately stocked with dishes and linens. There were a few areas of the house that could have been cleaner but overall it was acceptable. The whole family enjoyed our vacation in NSB.

The house was perfect for our extended family vacation. Access to the beach was great, loved the patio and rocking chairs, and appreciated a fully stocked kitchen. Also had a one year old with us who just learned to walk so we really appreciated the baby gates at the top of the steps.

Overall a great stay, highly recommend! There were a few hiccups (WiFi modem/router wasn’t working and we needed to have a new one mailed to the house; the owner was great about arranging everything for that!), she got back to us very quickly! A few maintenance needs, but nothing that significantly affected our stay. Great views from the ocean-facing windows!
