I'm very torn on this property. Location is great, right on the ocean! A quick walk across the lawn & we were on a beautiful quiet beach, gentle waves, we swam every day, played in the sand, whale watched. This made it worth it for us & our small kids. House has a casual beach cottage feel. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, but it has many issues that should be addressed, at $1500/nt expect better upkeep. A few of these in isolation wouldn’t be worth mentioning, but so many made it disappointing. To be fair we didn’t ask them to address any of these (we just wanted to relax and spend time with family, not have to coordinate repairs) * electric: We were told breakers might flip if we used too many appliances & that breakers were inaccessible. Just using a water kettle in the kitchen caused the breaker to flip. I didn’t dry my hair the entire week out of fear of losing power. * plumbing: leak from the 2nd floor & dripping into the kitchen over the microwave (ceiling damage indicates it’s not a new leak, hopefully not from toilet)! * poor lighting: At night was so dark we couldn’t even work on a puzzle, also 2 of 3 lamps in the living room wouldn’t turn on. * 1st fl bedroom ceiling fan makes a horrible noise & swings back & forth like about to fall. Window A/C is so loud and does not cool. The A/C in the LR times out so doesn’t stay cool. * Kitchen: Only a small table, had to bring in chairs from outside, we like to cook but oven only has 1 rack so could only fit one tray at a time. Range is in bad shape, knobs broken & stick, sometimes difficult to light. Dishwasher soap drawer sticks & doesn’t always open during the cycle, had to re-run it. * Hand-soap dispensers were clogged, had to unscrew top to get soap, limited supply of toilet paper & a small amount of laundry detergent left in the container, had to buy more. The pool was pretty but mostly in the shade-so really cold we never went in, ocean was much warmer. NO VACUUM/MOP/
