SV08: Family Ties

My sister and I gifted a week @ the beach to family & friends for Christmas. We chose this house for its size and location. We were not disappointed! There was ample room for ten adults and seven girls of varying ages. The beach was easily accessed by a short walk. There was a lifeguard stand nearby and it was never crowded! The pool was an added bonus. The grill was a bit small for our group, but we made it work. Very clean, well stocked home. Merry Christmas in August!

We loved our family reunion at Family Ties. We had family members from UT, OH, NY, and NC, with grandkids ranging in age from 3 to 19. The gameroom and downstairs bedrooms were reserved for the teenagers, and the littles set up playing in the middle floor bedrooms. Even the youngest could handle the quick walk to the beach and the neighborhood pool. The kitchen was well stocked, and we even enjoyed the beach decor on the walls. The one drawback was the blinds on the windows that couldn't keep out the Carolina morning sun. We couldn't darken the rooms enough, and the littles were waking up very early because their rooms were so light. (And there now are tables on both decks, which we utilized. ) We slept 19 people in comfort (until the morning sun hit)

I have stayed in many homes in Seven Sisters since 2001. Based on my previous experiences, I am rating this home 4 stars. There are no lounge chairs for relaxing, tanning, reading, or napping on any deck level. (Just standard upright chairs) There are also no tables on the upper deck to sit outside with your drinks, sandwich, book or whatever. The hot tub is in the direct sun pretty much all day so it was minimally used. Otherwise the house was very roomy for our four families.

We had a wonderful vacation. We went to the outerbanks to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Most of all we loved our vacation home SV08 "Family Ties". Immediately after arriving at the home I noticed how incredibly clean it was. overall I was very pleased with our
stay and hope to rent from Village Realty again in the near future.
