We had a lovely weekend stay at the rustic cabin. The beach/deck out front was perfect for our little family. I could sit & watch the baby play on the deck in his pool while my 4 year old played with kids down the way on the beach and paddle boarded with her dad. There was no hose to fill his pool so we used our cooler and filled it with some warm water from the shower.

One thing, this isn't a huge property so don't bring a lot that you'd have to store. The kitchen cupboards are maxed out so the only place to store your dry food is on top of the fridge and a little bit on the counter. I ended up spending a lot of time in the kitchen cooking and tending to baby bottle/food stuff. The windows/view is gorgeous so I didn't feel l was missing out on too much.

There is an issue with the sewer--the inside of the cabin and especially the outside smells of, well, poop. I don't know if this is a new issue or an old one they haven't tended to. It could be a big expense but wanted to let other visitors know that you will experience wafts of sewer smell.

The wood along the main window in the master bedroom is rotted and difficult to shut. It would be great to have the ability to turn off the crazy spot light of a security light on the deck at night. I slept with a sleeping mask as the light filters the master and we weren't able to enjoy a late cocktail on the deck at night as the kids slept. And some WD40 for the rocking deck chairs would have been nice to have on hand. They squeak like crazy. I bet you could hear it down the beach.

Overall, the cabin was great for the weekend and fit our needs. It's rustic. It's functional. It's in a great location. Just smells here & there of poop. And I could tolerate the smell for the weekend for the price we paid.
