    We really enjoyed everything about this house!! It was close to the beach (just steps). The house was well stocked with everything, it was clean, there are 2 washers and dryers to keep towels washed and ready, the views were incredible, the sunsets were intense!!

    I hosted a friends birthday weekend and Jeannie and the property were terrific. The balcony looks out over the sea and the beach is a one-minute walk down the stairs in a relatively secluded section. The house has a number of activities (hot tub, bikes, table tennis) and hosting and sleeping space.Jeannie is such a wonderful and communicative host. I can’t recommend the house enough.

    We had bathroom issues in 2 of the bathrooms, and one of the washers/dryers were not working. Additionally, I was told in advance that some of the pull out couches were broken. I did not get any follow up info if they were fixed, so one of the guests had to do quite a bit of guess work to find a bed to sleep in over our stay. I also had to cancel my plans the day after thanksgiving due to some aggressive calls from the owner to let someone in to inspect the broken washer/dryer. It frightened my mom, who was the only person staying at the house at the time, and then called me to tell me that it somehow it was her fault that she decided not to let a stranger into a home that we were renting. Location is great though. One minute from beach.

    House has a great layout, plenty of room. Fully stocked kitchen. We could see whales breaching while we had coffee on the balcony. Steps away from the beach. We had a wonderful time!

    The property was a little dated for the price but very comfortable and with plenty of room for our family of 10 (assorted ages). Lots of plates and glassware. Had some trouble with the stove. Large table and plenty of chairs, again with a lovely view. The beach is great, not too crowded despite being small, and very handy to be able to nip back to the house for snacks, etc.

    Overall we had a nice stay. However, when we arrived we had no idea how to access the house and were not given any instructions on how to get inside. I messaged the host multiple times (email, VRBO app, etc.) and (still) never heard back. After waiting 2+ hours my husband finally found a window to crawl through to get in. The house is in very good shape for how old everything is. It was also very clean but when we arrived had an awful cleaner smell that took a while to get rid of. It is well-stocked with lots of great things like bikes and wetsuits and the hot tub is nice to have as well. The location is great and it has lots of parking. Communication with the host is challenging so if you can deal with that along with 1960's style decor then it's a great place to rent.

    We had a great time staying at this house! The location was wonderful...secluded yard and proximity to beach! Each day had just enough low tide hours to get out there and play in the water. We brought our own wetsuits and boogie boards, though the house did offer a few options. The hose to rinse sand off was so convenient. The hot tub and fireplaces were perfect for warming up after the beach. A television in the upper living room would have been nice since it gets pretty dark up there when the sun goes down. The bikes were in pretty rough condition, but I was still able to ride one up to some shops. That was fun! Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves here.
