Perfect location but a few things you need to know.

Tenant lives downstairs on property which means limited privacy. There was no disclosure of this. Dangerous staircase for elderly and children. Not baby friendly. Lots of mosquitos on the property that get into the house and bedrooms. Bikes are rusty and some didn’t have brakes that we were unaware of. We were told there were cleaning people, but had to do laundry the last day and 10am checkout time. Great location and amazing views. Close to town and great deck. Sal was extremely nice and open to calls and text messages.

**Note to Potential Tenant: The separate apartment has been renovated and made part of the main house. The entire house will be solely for your use 11/24/2024** Thank you for your review and feedback. On a barrier island near the ocean, it is difficult to keep bicycles from rusting. We do plan on replacing a bike or two. So thank you for that. I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done about the mosquitoes during the humid month of July other than keeping the doors closed as much as possible. With regards to the "dangerous" stairs, there was a photo showing the spiral staircase and noted on the property profile. As an alternate means, there's the upper deck staircase that leads to the front of the house or the back staircase. The request to run a load of wash is typical for all the rental properties out there. It helps the cleaning service do a thorough job without being bogged down with laundry. Lastly, while checkout is at 10 am, I was able to accommodate an early check in time as I always try and do for all my tenants that arrive early by ferry. Lastly, there is no one living downstairs in the main house. There is a separate studio apartment that has its own entrance. Absolutely no shared space where there has never been an issue with the single woman that occupies the apartment.

House was larger than expected, and the location was excellent. The upstairs deck is a great spot to hang out an have a view of the ocean. It has a beach house feel, for sure - this is not a suburban house plopped down by the ocean. The ocean is 30 seconds walk - never even wore shoes or sandals to get there. the restaurants in town are under 10 min walk. The owner was friendly, responsive and super easy to work with.

Kismet House steps from the Beach

We had a wonderful time at this house just steps from the beach in Kismet. Sal met us at the dock for check-in with a wagon in tow to help us bring our luggage to the house. The house has plenty of room with a nice second story deck and a spacious side deck. Would recommend to anyone looking to be steps from the beach with great views of the ocean and lighthouse.

Beautiful Beach Getaway

We spent a lovely and relaxing week at Sal’s Kismet property. It is an extremely comfortable house with all basic amenities and two spacious decks. From the upper deck you can see and hear the ocean.
