We are a family of 4, including 2 children aged 9 and 6. We all had a great time. The house is only a 15 minute walk to the Madison center of town and centrally located with regard to the other important sites in the town. The house is roomy and well laid out. All rooms are clean with furniture that is fully functional and well-maintained. The bedrooms are numerous and sleep all comfortably and the temperature control in the house is easy and perfect. Most every room also has a ceiling fan that works. The kitchen has great appliances, and is the focal point of the house, with access to nearly every other area. There is no discernible ant or other insect infestation within the house. The TV and the laundry facilities are completely adequate and functional. There is a functional WiFi password-protected WiFi. Bathrooms are clean, too.
Adjacent to the kitchen there is a well-lighted, large eating area that has an exit to the patio. We happily ate meals both in this area and on the patio. The large outdoor gas grill is fully functional, and we cooked about 5 meals on it over 2 weeks. We ate outside on the patio on the clean and appropriate outdoor furniture (complete with umbrella). The yard is extremely large and safe for the children, who spent innumerable hours playing there. The front porch is also a nice place to read or work, with comfortable furniture. There is a fully-functional outdoor shower that our children used daily.
Madison Avenue is relatively quiet with minimal car traffic. The walk to the beach is approximately 5 minutes, safe and highly convenient. We especially like the close-in "purple sand" beach, as it is not too crowded and offers the right size and safety for young children. From the house you are no more than a 15 minute walk to most other beach-related sites. There were no annoying nearby neighbors during our 2 weeks there. In fact, our kids made friends and played with the next door children.
Note: The owner is very responsive to your needs/questions on a continuous basis via text messaging or email, and welcomed our bringing our cat for 2 weeks. She is perfect and just the type of owner one should seek.
