The housekeeper was there working when we arrived, doing all of the linens. She had probably cleaned the main areas of the floor and wiped down the bathroom sinks. However, we found crumbs under every item in the kitchen, mats of hair in the showers and behind the toilets in the bathrooms, and the home had probably not been dusted or the cracks cleaned of grime and trash in at least a year. The balcony has a lovely view of the marsh and we spent many hours watching the birds and the sunset - lovely! But don't touch the balcony railing as it is very rickety and dangerous! However, the high speed wifi worked as advertised and the interior furnishings were also as advertised. However, the bicycles are all broken and unusable. We did not check the kayaks but suspect the same. Overall, this is a house that started out, probably, as a lovely rental. It appears, though, that it has been rented out for a long time without any maintenance or true cleaning. We did enjoy walking from the house to various trails (Cemetery Trail) and in to town.
