Great little spot
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Studio. The owners are considerate and helpful, available but never intrusive.
Pros: The beach! We watched a pair of bald eagles fishing in the waters right off the beach- twice. What a treat! The quiet here makes for a great night’s sleep. The bed was comfy, and the bedroom glows beautifully at sunrise. The studio is stunning and immaculate. Artsy. Dee has a great eye for decor and detail. She was generous in allowing us to use the freezer in the very near Cabin (also for rent) to store some of our food, as it was unrented at the time. It is in a great location for accessing the best of the Penninsula.
Cons: We loved that there were cooking facilities, but think “warm up soup” or a quick batch of muffins. The fridge is teeny, and sadly not working properly while we were there. Our lettuce froze, but the little freezer has a warm zone that ruined a pint of ice cream and some meat. A star was lost over the fact that the largest (main) room has no comfortable space to hang out. The entire thing has cooking necessities in nice cupboards in every corner, but the space is not utilized well so it becomes a poorly designed, awkward kitchen, rather than living space that happens to have a little kitchenette. The tiny round dining table and tray size rack between stove and sink are the only work surfaces, but they are frustrating to use since they are small & not really for food prep. There is no couch nor comfy chairs to relax inside in case of rain or cool temps. The bedroom offers a chaise for one. The other person has to sit in bed, which is tough for reading or chatting since there is no headboard. To lean back, you would lean into the windows. The two basket style, swivel dining chairs in the main room are comfortable for a brief sit, but not for settling in after a day of exploring. There was a strong smell of mold in the bathroom. We were there mid October, and noticed there is no ventilation in the bath or kitchen. Condensation on the inside of exterior doors and windows dripped to the floor even with some opened windows, so sill rot is a likely outcome. Also, be aware the adjacent cabin is very close. Shrubs between, but not enough for privacy. If you are a quiet person, you might be driven mad by children or lots of people in such close proximity. Also, the water view from the studio is minimal, and thru trees. Most of these are easy fixes, though. Overall, this place is charming, & CLEAN.
