Great house for multi-generations!
Our 4-generation family of 13 spent a week at St. Barts in August. We had one of the best vacations ever! The spacious 7-bedroom house with all the baths worked perfectly. The suites were great for sharing with young toddlers. And the dining table was huge, allowing us all to eat together.
While we have some constructive feedback, none of it was a show stopper. House was ready on time and exceptionally clean when we arrived on Saturday. As others have mentioned, the steps to the dock were steep and not usable for our 86 and 92 year old mothers. However, the answer to that was the boat launch at the nearby state park (4 minutes). One of us drove them to the launch and they picked us up there.
While there was no beach area at the house, the state park beach was great, though there is a nominal fee associated with it. Access to the hiking trails at the state park was very convenient. Also, the Discovery Center was a nice thing to do with the kids.
If you’re looking for a house with a good view of the lake, it’s not this one. While it may be “lakefront,” the area is heavily wooded, which blocked most of the lake. Also, the house is at the central part of the lake, so there was a lot of boat traffic in the area for most of the day.
As for the house itself, the hot tub could have been cleaner, and the gas grill was grimy, especially underneath where the tanks were. Looked like the grease had overflowed the basin at some point and spilled onto the gas tanks. However it still worked fine for grilling.
The wifi was not reliable and could have been better, but then again, we were in the mountains.
The kitchen was spacious and well stocked. And having 2 large refrigerators was awesome. No ice makers meant buying ice, but that was not a problem when you have 2 freezers and a large Yeti cooler.
Also, there was only part of a very old drying rack (no drain for bottom) and they left us only 2 kitchen towels and wash rags, which were not enough when cooking 3 meals a day for 13 people. I’d suggest 4 towels, then we’d have some clean ones while the dirty ones were being washed/dried. Or tell the renter to bring their own.
Unfortunately the fire pit was in the front of the house, in the driveway, which was not that convenient. Would have been nice to have it in the back of the house. Parking area out front was fine for our 4 cars.
All in all, the great stuff outweighed any negative and we were satisfied with our stay. Thank you for a memorable vacation!
