We had a group of 8 adults and a 2 year old stay at the Gathering Place to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. Our objective was to have a leisurely place to just hang out and visit the beach. It definitely needed to accommodate all of us comfortably. This lovely home met and exceeded our expectations. The house is located in a terrific spot to see the ocean and cross over to visit the beach. The house is very clean and comfortable. We slept soundly in the comfortable beds. The large kitchen table fit all of us for our meals and to play games. Since we were cooking all of our meals, we appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was. Often, you rent a place that has nothing to cook with. Not the Gathering Place! Cookware, utensils, and gadgets galore. Having a busy toddler, we were very thankful for the baby gate at the top of the stairs. Thank you, Doug, for a memorable, relaxing stay.
