The house was cozy, clean and cute. Alison was very helpful and met us on site to replace an air conditioner cord. Unfortunately, the past tenants had left fish in the recycling barrel (by accident) after trash pick up and when Alison asked us to put out the trash Tuesday night for Wednesday pick up, the smell was horrendous. Trash was not picked up so it sat outside until Saturday morning. Also, the house is renovated butthere are several things that are not completely done, e.g., new cabinets in the kitchen, but no handles and they all seem to open in different directions, which was frustrating.
There are lots of beachy signs around the house, making it feel like a beach house, but it is actually quite dark as the kitchen and living room is really the basement and no place bright to hang out. The backyard is not exactly a pleasant setting, e.g., the yard isn’t really cared for, the fence is broken in places and the shed is falling apart. We grabbed two beach chairs out of the bin in the back only to find out once we got to the beach that they were broken. I suspect they have quick turnover between renters and don’t have time to check the house and the amenities in between.
If you’re looking for a clean and comfortable place to sleep, and have breakfast, this is a great location near many beaches. We biked to the beach and to 3 local restaurants and an ice cream shop. These are some of the best and most beautiful beaches in all of New England within biking distance.
