I needed a positive environment to recover from surgery, and this house was near perfect. The numerous windows allowed me to enjoy the view of the water and trees from sunrise to sunset. On warmer days I sat on a porch rocker to commune with all sorts of birds.
The house house its quirks - Ikea appliances require consulting instructions - but I ended up quite happy with the kitchen once I figured it out.
The owner is incredibly responsive, and personally came by to replace a leaking toilet within hours of being notified. The neighbors seem a bit close at times, but are friendly and helpful. I felt completely safe in the area, and met more folks on my many walks along Shipps Lane.
My suggestions for improvement would be: level up the front steps for safety, and possibly add graphics/labels to the light switches. For off-season indoor dwelling, a few more reading lamps & couch pillows (just basics from Target) would be nice in the living area.
In summary, I was grateful to have spent 4 weeks at this special house. I would love to visit again during kayaking weather!
