Disliked: Listing accuracy
Not as expected
A bit disappointed in the quality for the price. We splurged on this property for a couples weekend getaway. The listing said newly renovated however everything in the kitchen/bathroom was cracked, dented, or peeling, you could tell the house had experienced a lot of wear and tear. The kitchen wasn’t stocked for cooking; no blender, hardly any bowls or utensils, no hot pads for using the oven, and no grill. Both mornings we woke to ants all over the kitchen counter, despite cleaning up from the nights before. Advertised as being quiet and private but the house is located on a Main Street where cars drive up and down all hours of the night, right outside the master bedroom. The outdoor shower setup was a saving grace, we enjoyed that as well as the porch and chairs

such a nice place to stay. I didn’t want to go home. short walk to the beach and a very close beach access. I’m definitely planning on coming back to this location next year!
