Nice location, pictures describe it well, but be aware that you will need to drive to get to anywhere from here, even to Albion (just over the bridge), and there is no access to any beach; even walking your dog is rather limited on the few access driveways inside the gate (a gate which you cannot open as a pedestrian, or even bicyclist, once inside! It can only be opened/triggered automatically by a car.) The property is nice and clean overall, maybe with the exception of the hot tub, which had sand in it and some other little black "floatsome." The climate by the edge of the sea is harsh to materials, and the owners seem to have given up that fight for the most part: There is a lot of corrosion and some wood rot, e.g. in the railings of the deck, nothing too horrible, but a bit sad... The equipment in the kitchen is adequate, but if you come with 6-8 people you end up running the dishwasher half full a lot, after running out of plates. (Others already mentioned the somewhat bewildering coffee maker. Makes ok coffee, and the generously provided ground coffee was of good quality and quantity, but the machine is inconvenient to use, and takes a while to learn to handle without mishaps.) The internet (satellite based?) is excruciatingly sloooooow... Less than a Mb/sec, about 1% of what most people with good service get at home, i.e. OK for email or simple websites, but don't come expecting to get serious remote work done or other data-intense online activities, especially once the kids get on the WiFi! Overall, nice and quiet. There was no one at the neighboring houses, which made it even more peaceful.

OK, the view is spectacular but there are a lot of negatives. As previous guest noted in the comments book, the hot tub was not very hot and was not usable. When we arrived, there was no WiFi which was frustrating but not as much as the denials by the rental representative. When I tried to go to a website, a message came up from the cable company that the bill was not paid. The TV did not work at first and when it was fixed the channel line up was the worst possible, mostly shopping channels and just a few program channels. As others noted, couldn't get the oven to work. I would not recommend this house to anyone else.

the views are stunning and we had wildlife visiting us every day. The beds were comfortable enough and the bathrooms were clean and updated. The kitchen was well stocked and LOVED the coffee in the refrigerator - so nice to have supplies for that first morning coffee! We totally enjoyed the hot tub on two of our evenings. It was the perfect way to relax after a packed day. Now for some of the down sides. Couch in family room really should be replaced - it is a "butt sinking" experience. Could also use some additional side tables - we brought in the tables from the deck. The deck dining seat cushions were gross and we covered them up prior to sitting - mold issues. Outdoor deck area really needs some paint before the winter sets in and you have some real damage done.
