Great MV Getaway

The first hint that renting this home was going to be a great experience occurred months before we stepped foot in the house; the owners were very fair and extremely pleasant throughout the (short) lease negotiation process, and the Welcome Manual that they prepared spoke volumes about the care that they have put into maintaining their home and making guests feel right at home. We were not disappointed by any of the home's advertised amenities; the place was really perfect for our needs! The kitchen, dining room and great room, and screened in porch were perfectly sized areas for our large party. The basement was the perfect play area for my two children and their twin cousins, with the video games. And we all enjoyed the many areas to just relax and enjoy the outdoor sights (roaming wild turkeys and even the occasional deer!)--the upper terrace just off the dining room, and the deck were great for this. All of the bedrooms were perfectly sized and well-appointed. My wife and I stayed in the upstairs master bedroom, and were pleased with the spaciousness of the place, and of the en-suite master bathroom. The outdoor shower came in quite handy following our excursions to South Beach. And we loved the huge plasma tv in the great room with surround sound; an optimal place for just relaxing and hanging out. Not only was the house itself great for our needs, but we absolutely loved its proximity to so many other desirable spots: the VH ferry is @ 10 minutes away, the shops on Main Street are @ 5 minutes away, the arts and crafts day camp that my children attended was close by, and I, an avid golfer, took full advantage of the house's proximity to Mink Meadows golf course. Last but not least, the home's broadband access made it easy--for better or for worse--for me to stay connected to work when the need arose. All in all, we had a great family vacation that was due in no small part to our staying at an excellent home. We've stayed in MV for the past 9 years, and this home tops the list of places at which we've stayed by a wide margin.
