Pros: First and foremost, Carol, the owner, responds quickly and offers assistance if a problem arises. The house is well-built and tastefully decorated. My daughter, two dear friends, and I stayed four nights. The kitchen is fully equipped. There is an abundance of hot water. The beds are exceptionally comfortable. The view from the top deck is awesome!
Cons: The owner offers NO REFUNDS so be 100% sure before you book. The steps are steep if you have knee or back problems. The pots need to be replaced because the nonstick coating is peeling off, but we were able to cook in them. The plastic bowls must be discarded and replaced, and the kitchen towels/cloths are worn, but we were able to use them. The kitchen needs to be reorganized. The televisions have cable, but there are no smart televisions, only DVD players. The televisions in the bedrooms are old, but they do have cable. The beach chairs in the garage must be discarded because they are old and rusted, so bring your own. The living room couch it is worn out and extremely uncomfortable. We had to bring out bed pillows to sit on. The loveseat is made of cloth and should be replaced or have washable covers. The two bedrooms upstairs have small showers only. One bedroom bath has a pedestal sink and the other a regular vanity.
The house was clean but not super clean. I would suggest a good spring cleaning. We would return because the house is nice but, in the areas, mentioned, it needs updating. Again, the cons would not stop us from going back.
