Pros:
Location right across from a little beach! Walking to beach any time day or night was priceless! Space and layout of house great...3 nice bedrooms, big dining table, nice kitchen fully stocked with pots, dishes, appliances, and we absolutely loved the sun porch! Outdoor shower was great, big yard for the kids with bunnies everywhere! Laundry was so convenient right there in house. Owners were so friendly, helpful, and responsive. Even had some beach toys and chairs in the garage for guests to use. Lots to do in town and being mid cape, close to everything!

Cons: The only downside is that the house felt a little bit run down in some ways. The screen doors were broken, shower curtain mildewy, some vents rusted (one covered with foil from kitchen), some window blinds broken and dusty, carpet throughout so holds that musty smell (but only if air conditioners aren’t on), a windowsill was peeling and looked to be rotting, and inside paint is dirty/worn. Cleaning company could have done a little better with vacuuming the cobwebs on ceiling (couple dead spiders on wall/ceiling).
To be clear though, I don’t think the house was left “dirty”.... the kitchen had clearly been freshly cleaned for us, there were fresh new pillows in bedrooms, comforters on beds were freshly laundered, etc. The owners really were wonderful to work with. For the price and location...ocean view, hear the waves, walk to beach...it is a great house. With just a few inexpensive updates (screen doors, blinds, shower curtains) maybe some fresh paint, and a talk with cleaning company to pay attention to ceilings/walls, I would have given this property a 4 or even 5 star review. None of these cosmetic issues took away from the wonderful time we had.
