Overall we had a really good time at this property, but our family is really easy going. There’s some stuff that didn’t bother us, but we think might bother others.
Pros: Location - super close to main area of town (walkable) but removed enough it’s calm and quiet. Beach access - directly across the street, perfect considering it isn’t a “on the beach” home. The view - amazing view and awesome deck. Kitchen - the kitchen is the one renovated place in the house and it is really nice/functional. A lot of space in living area - top floor has two sections of living room with 3 couches, 3 comfy chairs, two large kitchen tables - was perfect for our large family, we never ran out of chairs or places for people to eat, couches are super comfy with reclining abilities. Great number of beds, we didn’t even need all of them. Second fridge in garage (we didn’t need this, but thought it was great to have for potential large groups). Ample spices, cooking/eating utensils, dishes in the kitchen.
Cons - A lot of mold throughout the house, mostly concentrated in the bathrooms. You can see they’ve tried to repair some mold/mildew/dry rot in certain areas but it hasn’t taken care of the problem. Downstairs bathroom smelled of urine, so much so it permeated that entire downstairs bedroom - we kept bathroom window open & bathroom door closed to keep the smell out of the bedroom as best as possible. Some of the recliners are slightly broken so are hard to “close”. Binder for house didn’t have checkout procedures, which seemed odd. Dishwasher wouldn’t clean about 50% of dishes unless they were spotless before they went in - multiple coffee mugs were dirty when we got there, and it became obvious why once we used the dishwasher. Struggled to clean bowls and mugs on top shelf - may be possible it needs some maintenance. Lower rack stuff always came out clean. White coffee machine is one where you cannot take the pot off the burner until the entire pot is brewed and done dripping - learned this the hard way ;).
Aside from the kitchen the house is very dated, but it’s 100% functional. We had a great time! We felt like it was a great house, but as mentioned if you’re picky about things there could be a problem.
