Guests were my husband and I and our two labs, my brother and sister-in-law and their 11 year old daughter. The house was very clean. There were plenty of towels. The kitchen was stocked with enough dishes for cooking and eating. The fridge is kind enough to tell you if you leave the door open which is so useful with kids. We all enjoyed the hot tub, which was very clean and plenty large enough for 4 adults to sit comfortably. We played some ping pong in the garage, and rode bikes on the boardwalk. There is a market around the corner. I was worried the restaurant/tavern next door would be loud, but we didn't hear a peep from them. It was very quiet. The beach is about 3 blocks away and is beautiful and VERY dog friendly. Very few people had their dogs on leashes which we appreciated and did not have any negative experiences between our dogs and other dogs or people. The downsides: all the puzzles have pieces missing (but I finished one anyway), the fireplace has faux candles with LEDs that don't work. Do not plan on having any kind of fire. The furnace is loud, but you only notice it when it clicks off and we all got used to it very quickly. I highly recommend for family and friend get togethers.
