Dune trip

12 adults for a joint bachelor/ Bachelorette party for the weekend. More than enough beds and bathrooms for all of us plus 2 patios to hangout on. Ideal location for the dunes and close enough to bars if you have someone willing to drive. Access to lake and kayak included was great as well. Had a blast and would definitely stay again if dunes are a repeat vacation!

Mears house

We really enjoyed this house…ample beds to accommodate 15 of us and more if we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. We liked the open concept of the kitchen, dining and living area. The wraparound porch & fire pit also had plenty of seating area. There were a few issues that we let the host know of and he was very receptive to taking care of them.
