Spacious, clean house in great location for the Dunes
Great location for the park beaches and trails. The house was clean and spacious. The large deck was perfect for warm weather outdoor dining, and the large fenced back yard was great for the dog. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking gear and pantry items. We had only 3 adults on our stay, so we never used the lower level with the large TV and sectional seating.
The only difficulty we had was with the thermostat control. The weather was transitional during our stay, from 40 degrees in the morning at the beginning, to a high of 80 the last day, so there was need to constantly adjust the thermostat. Three adults were unable to access the temperature adjustment on the "smart" thermostat, although repeatedly following the host's instructions. So it was necessary to message the host whenever we needed a temperature change (which he could do remotely), which we did less than we would have done had we been able to adjust it ourselves.
The other thing to be aware of is the traffic noise on the busy road. It was not an issue during our stay, as the cool weather meant that we spent our time at the house inside where the noise was not so evident. In season, with heavier traffic and spending time in the yard or on the deck, it could be bothersome.
