A great stay at Miller Beach
We had a great trip to Miller Beach. Margaret’s house was as described. Lots of board games, plus pool, ping pong and air hockey were great for the kids. Check in was easy and her communication was quick.

My family stayed her during a swimmeet for my daughter in nearby Hobart. It served as a perfect home base. The host was super helpful during check-in and the house was immaculate. We’d definitely stay here again!

Loved the house, it was great for a family stay! Kids had a blast with all the amenities. Wish the sprinklers didn't go off Sunday morning, made the yard unusable for most of the day.

Great house for large group
Open floor plan kitchen perfect for hosting with three levels to spread out families/groups. 5 minute walk to the smooth, sandy, lakeside beach. Host communicates well and house is as pictured. End of July to beginning of August felt almost private at the beach during the week.

Good place for a crowd
It is tough to find a comfortable place to get together with a very big family, but this place was awesome. Beach and playgrounds just a few minutes walk away. Backyard space. Giant kitchen and laundry - crucial with this many people and kids.

Great multi-family house
This house had plenty of room for our family reunion. There are several large common spaces, ample dining room and kitchen space, and having two master suites and two bunk rooms was ideal. Close to a lot of great beaches. Had a minor issue with water coming under a door after a heavy storm, but the owners were very responsive and addressed it immediately. We enjoyed our stay and would come again.

Spacious house for multiple families
This was a great rental with plenty of room for 3 families and our mother (7 adults and 7 kids). The house was modern, stocked with essentials, and had plenty of entertainment opportunities and ample parking spaces. The host was always quick to reply and very accommodating. Easy walk to the beach was a great bonus!

Great family stay
This was the first time that my family and I have been together in over a year because of the pandemic. We could not have chosen a better property, it is a very clean and updated property with a lot of things to do that whole family could enjoy. My family and I are truly grateful for this experience and we would come back again. Thanks

Our yearly family outing
This place was beautiful; exceptionally clean and very spacious for a family of 11. The pool table, ping pong and air hockey was an added benefit. We liked that each level had it's own area to hang out. The kitchen was well supplied and lots of seating. The yard is beautiful. It was an easy walk to the beach and to the bike/walking path near the park. Our family voted this their favorite Labor Day place to stay to date. The owner was very prompt in answering questions.

Lovely space with multiple comfortable sitting areas for conversation, game-playing, watching TV. Used the well appointed kitchen for preparing Thanksgiving dinner.

Family celebration
The property was wonderful. We loved the main living area where we could all gather for visiting, cooking, eating, play games, etc. and have plenty of room for all 9 of us and a baby and dog. Had great amenities which we didn’t get around to using. Had everything on the kitchen you might need and more. All was clean, well kept and great outdoor areas which we would have enjoyed if the weather had cooperated. Will definitely keep this in mind for a future get together.
