"Chelsi's property was the perfect place for our 6 families to gather with eleven kids ranging in age from 2 to 13. We spent the weekend swimming in the pool, fishing in the pond, playing lawn games, walking on the beach, and gathering around the fire. The location two miles from North Hampton State Beach was ideal with plenty of options for groceries, restaurants and activities. Chelsi was so welcoming and great to communicate with."
