Overall this was a clean convenient place. Plenty of parking. The layout of bedrooms feels more appropriate for families becasue you have to walk through connected bedrooms both up and down stairs. The "office" bedroom has to be walked through for all three occupants of the bedrooms upstairs. We already knew bedroom #1 and #2 were connected. Since the evenings were cool enough for use of the funace we had a very strong fuel oil odor drifting up through return vents on the first floor all night. Bring extra TP and paper towels. There are no hooks or towel bars in either bathroom so a drying rack might be useful. The cool nights brought the mice inside each evening. They were very busy on the proch and in the kitchen. Glass and plastic containers for all your food will help. Expected but be aware! The living room is spacious and comfortable. Plenty of hot water for showers and baths. Beach access is lovely. The side and back porch were great for storing unused items and a protected area for morning coffee. Enjoy your stay!

Work stay
It was a very nice house and location. My company had a job to complete in the area, and this property met all the requirements needed. Thank you to the home owner for allowing us to stay in such a short notice.

Misleading photos, Disappointed in the Quality
Other than having enough beds the large living room to play in, we were very disappointed in the quality of the property for the amount we paid. No garbage pickup, you are supposed to take it with you. Previous renter didn’t take theirs's and when I reached the property contact they stated that they would come remove it. They never came. As a result, we ended up with a mouse in the living room. Key to the front door is hard to turn and the door sticks. Deadbolt doesn’t have secure place to latch into. No railing on the outdoor stairs. Upstairs bathroom doorknob didn’t have a latch and you could not close the door to the bathroom. No lock on the bathroom. Paint is bubbling and peeling off the walls and ceiling of that bathroom. Downstairs bathroom has tiles peeling off the wall and the door is very difficult to close. Lamps/TVs in locations where there aren’t outlets to plug them in. Stairs inside squeak horribly and there are gabs in the stairs you can see through. No handrail on the internal stairs. No screens in any of the windows. If you are not providing AC guests need to be able to open the windows. Not enough dishware for the number of people advertised and there are no wine glasses. Cobwebs on the kitchen ceiling fan. Moved the couch to get to an outlet and behind the couch had not been cleaned. Ran out of hot water while showering, hot water heater not big enough for the number of people advertised. Smell coming out of the basement, discovered an open sewer pipe.
