Had to leave two days early due to noise
The house was fine, but we cut our stay in half because of extreme noise and discomfort. The Dahlgren Naval Surface Weapons facility is directly across the bay from the house, and it literally was shaken from floor to ceiling by heavy weapons testing that lasted from 8am to 5pm. A local resident said that the noise was much louder than on "his side" of the island and that windows are often replaced on the island due to the extensive concussions and blast waves. We had our dog with us (a 65-pound Goldador), and he was terrified. The noise issues continued after the weapons testing finished, when a homeowner cranked up a leaf blower just outside our bedroom windows each night we were there. The house has minimal window shades--the first floor bedroom is missing a shade on the window that looks directly into the next door patio and bedroom, which makes privacy (and taking a nap in a dark room) impossible. Most of the restaurants/eating establishments in the listing are closed or no longer in business. We were looking forward to using the Foosball table, but the playing surface was broken and sagging. Although the owner's notes included the possibility of an odor in the well water even though the water was safe to drink, the sulphur smell when we showered was really bad--I recommend the use of a charcoal block filter to help with the smell. We had planned our four days to celebrate my wife's birthday, but we decided to leave two days early and celebrate at home.
