Plum Island Beautiful views weekly summer rental

Prior to stay, asked if they had a lobster pot, etc kitchen and upon arrival no there was no lobster pot Actually, there is a lobster pot in the kitchen, I'm close by as you know and would have been happy to come over and locate it for you, and I know you knew how to contact us - I wish you had. ...only 3 coffee filters..so my husband had to rinse out them to last a week. With a convince store withing waling distance, you preferred to wash out the existing coffee filters? There was no tea kettle and the glass ware was dirty. We will get a tea pot, thank you. An occasional dirty glass on the other hand is hard to prevent. When we rent, we tell our kids to just rinse it out. If they keep complaining they lose their desert. The biggest no no was the front deck was in the sun 11 hours a day and had no umbrella??? Too much sun at the beach? This is a first, but we'll see what we can do. All of the sheets and curtains were mismatched?? You would think my husband and I could have had a nice sheet set with matching pillow cases and sheets??? My wife pleads mea culpa on this one. She tried to be a little creative with complementary rather than strictly matching sheets. We are sorry it created such distress. The furnishings were worse than yard sale bargains...throw them out or repurpose with paint. Again first complaint in this area. Some think it would be tasteless to add all new furniture to a quaint old cottage - however the purchase order for the sleeper got mixed up, and there will be one there next year. I also asked if there was a grill..they said yes...it was a 14 inch charcoal grill...and there was no charcoal supplied. A hundred dollars could buy an inexpensive gas grill. This is a valid point, and it really is more about liability than cost savings (he thinks to himself: renters like this make me think they will blow the place up, then sue for the resulting stress). Nevertheless I think we will chance it and get one for next year. The private beach was less than ideal...it worked for the dog but we wouldn't swim in it...marshy.... Our kids, neighbors and their kids use the beach all the time, as you can see from the pics. However we are glad that your dog had no complaints. One suggestion for our kind renter: if you have a dog that barks 24-7, you might try leaving him/her at home with a friend or maybe a kennel. We had a number of complaints.
