Overall, we had a great trip and will definitely be coming back to the area. The house has a great location and it very charming.
We had a few snags during our stay, but it didn't totally ruin the experience, just some minor inconveniences that would have been nice to know ahead of time to be able to plan better. Owner was very responsive though, which was very helpful.
-The washer did not work for us. Repair guy did come, but didn't fix the problem.
-Hot tub did not get cleaned mid stay like advertised. It did get a little gross by the end of the week from sunscreen, etc.
-Bring your own toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, hand soap, etc.. We were told we only needed to bring linens (sheets/towels), but upon arrival, none of the bathrooms or kitchen was stocked with paper products or soap. Would have been nice to know before arrival so we could have planned and brought our own instead of a rush trip to the store because the children needed to use the bathrooms upon arrival.
-There were deck updates being made during our stay (painting), and the decks were sticky from the paint and only partially finished. Painting company left all their painting supplies spread around the outdoors. Made it annoying to use the outdoor areas the first couple of days.
-Bikes provided are handy, but not in the best shape. Our family would have been happier bringing our own.
-Beds are super hard.
Again, none of these issues were huge deal breakers, but stuff that would have been nice to know ahead of time. It would have made our trip better to know these things. Hopefully this will help others better pack and plan.
The good:
-Loved being able to use the provided beach chairs and toys!
-The kitchen is fully stocked with seasonings and cooking supplies, which was great.
-Kids loved "Happy Hour", the outdoor cat they could feed and visit with.
