This was my second stay on Walnut. I was here 5 years ago and always wanted to return. The location can’t be beat—a block from the bay. There are several restaurants in a 10-minute radius. The house is nicely appointed. The kitchen has plenty of utensils, pots, pans, and dishes (salt, pepper, and Old Bay, no sugar), as well as a small rolling island and two coffee makers. Beds are comfortable, on the hard side but not too hard. The couch is comfy and accommodating. The TV isn’t too difficult to figure out, as some nowadays are! The pool is a great feature, though we didn’t use it. The deck is roomy, and the furnishings there and on the patio are sturdy and welcoming.
Our only issue: The bath off the kitchen has a tub with no grab points/bars and no in-tub, nonslip surface. I would have been happy to bring a rubber mat along, but it wasn’t listed under Items to Bring, so I didn’t realize. The en-suite bathtub has shelves that you can grab if you need to. But the shelves in the first bath are angled underneath and not grabbable.
