This was a great house for three couples each with a baby. Each family was able to have their own large space with a bathroom. Loved the views at the house! Everything was really comfortable and cozy. We didn’t end up using the hot tub (we were told the jets couldn’t be used, only a soaking tub). The jets in the big bathtub in the owners suite and the body shower jets didn’t work. The trail down to the beach outside the house is definitely a challenging hike! We opted to walk to the other beach access (about 10 min walk). Game room in the garage was a lot of fun aa well! Overall it was a great stay! We loved the “treasure hunt” that was left for us to do!!
