We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Sandy is a wonderful host, helpful and responsive to any question or request. She and her son live in the basement apartment, they were unobtrusive during our stay. The house is exceptionally well decorated and well equipped. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs, both with comfortable queen beds, abundant drawer/closet space, and many pillows. Sandy has installed room-darkening drapes in 1 of the bedrooms, which was considerate, and helped decrease the sunlight pouring in through the many windows. There is a den with a fold out couch downstairs. All 3 of these sleeping areas have window air conditioners which work well-(the ones in the bedrooms are high up, a stretch for short people to reach!). The living room is large and comfortable, the kitchen is very well-equipped, and the dining area is a glassed-in porch (lovely for breakfast in the morning, listening to birds and an outdoor fountain). Note: there are 2 relatively small TVs in the house, 1 in a bedroom, 1 in the den; we did not really watch TV much, but some people might mind that there is no TV in the living room. The outdoor shower looks new and is clean and spacious. The nearest beach is a "private beach" for the local development (2 minute drive or 10 minute walk down the road; then a long staircase walk to the beach itself-well worth it, the beach gets few people and is beautiful). Ryder Beach is the nearest Truro town beach, it is also a bay beach, a 5 minute drive away, also very pretty and sparsely populated, even on a sunny July day. We also went to 3 of the Truro ocean beaches (Ballston, Long Nook, and Head of the Meadow), all of which have stunning dunes, soft sand, and clear water. (We were, however, pretty bothered by biting flies at the ocean beaches by the late afternoon-we recommend bug spray!). Overall, we loved our vacation and we really loved this house. No complaints at all. We hope to stay here again, it met all of our needs.
