A very enjoyable stay
My family just returned from a wonderful stay at Grape Expectations. Here are some of the positives we experienced:
-- very clean and comfortable sleeping accommodations for the 3 families in our group (6 adults and 3 kids). The listing did a good job of explaining this house.
-- a large, fully stocked and very functional kitchen
-- modern washer / dryer
-- a couple of good rooms for relaxing including a basement den with a large sectional sofa, dart board, pool table, Wii, large screen TV, etc.
-- a golf course practically next door to the building (though we didn't use it)
-- a good gas BBQ grill in the garage
-- an excellent club house pavilion just a block away with a fairly large pool with large area for kids, lap lane (long enough to do real laps), life guard, etc.
-- The club house pavilion has a gym with what looked like many modern exercise machines and free weights
-- a fairly large courtyard in front of the building, large enough for us to play some baseball or just kick a ball around.
-- a short drive to the beach, a great nature center, restaurants, bike shop, etc.
-- a great set of materials explaining everything. This includes a great FAQ, notebook of activities and restaurant menus, etc.
-- very friendly, helpful, and responsive owners
If there were any negatives, they were very minor such as:
-- the living room on the main floor is not particularly large unless you move the dining table out of the way. But the downstairs den / living room is larger in case you want to have a large group together to watch a movie or just hang out together.
-- you can't really walk to any restaurants or to the beach except for the one in the club house. But, then, you also gain from the tranquility of being away from it all.
Overall, I would strongly recommend this as a vacation option for large families or groups of families or others.
