My family of 5 stayed 5 nights in February. We really wanted to like this house. The reviews were good, oceanfront. We are not picky if the house is old or needs some work. We just wanted a quiet peaceful place. The house appears quaint right next to the ocean, and the small beach alongside it is very nice. The weather was not optimal during the time we were there, but during brief sunny moments, we would spend them on the private beach.

This was the hard part-traffic. There is a lot of traffic on the road just outside the house. There is one road that goes around the island, and it happens to be outside the front gate. We heard traffic, including several ambulances, a fair amount anywhere from the house except the main bedroom. This actually was the biggest downside. So much traffic. Not only is it loud, but not safe if you decide to go for a walk to the beach down the road, or to the Shrimp Shack. There is no shoulder and people drive above speed limit.

The inside of the house seems dark, although the cloudy weather may have contributed to this. There is a moldy smell in the middle bedroom, we had to air it out everyday. The oceanfront bedroom was quite nice, open, bright, view amazing. We heard the ocean all night from this room, no traffic. The bathroom is tiny but ok. The kitchen is spacious and nice. I would recommend a new toaster as well as a coffee grinder. We did ask for them on our first morning as we were doing breakfasts at the house. Unfortunately , never arrived. We came up with creative ways to make toast and bagels, as the old toaster did not work. One thing, I would recommend is cleaning the seal of the fridge, especially the top part as it appeared moldy. The humidity is the problem, which we realize cannot be controlled. Something to think about if you have mold allergies. Although we did not meet in person, Kiana was very pleasant on the phone. He was planning on getting a toaster and coffee grinder for us, but it didn't happen. He has another job which I'm sure can be hard to balance.

Thank you for letting us stay at your home. Although not optimal for us especially with the traffic (and weather), it was still a place to stay next to the ocean.
