I cannot say enough about how superb this place was. Everything was absolutely perfect and ideal for a family with young children. Hosting was absolutely spot on and very accommodating.

Mark, it was a pleasure having your family visit. Thank you again for visiting Hunter's House. I hope the boys had a fantastic time!

Amazing! I have no other words! Everything was perfect! The house is close to the beach (2 min walk). The house is clean, functional, with gifts for the children. Small touches everywhere. Anything to go to the beach. (Games, chairs, towels) We felt at home. My kids were delighted. We can't wait to come back.
Having travelled a lot in the world I have a host as amazing as Maria's family. She was available, thoughtful. I've traveled a lot, and I found this house is really good in all. We'll be back for sure
Take care! Thanks again for everything.
