We had a wonderful week-long stay for my mother's 70th birthday. The pictures & description do not give justice to the size of the property, particularly the outdoor space - we had a blast cooking dinners at the house and enjoying 4+ different outdoor dining areas, our favorite being the elevated yard & balcony that overlooks the Waterlot Inn bay. We would definitely come back and stay again!
Some pros and and potential areas for improvement that come to mind include:
Pros:
- the size of the space really is fantastic. 5+ distinct outdoor areas to enjoy. With 6 adults and 2 kids we always had plenty of room to spread out
- The house was well equipped, which I know can be a difficult undertaking on an island
- I appreciate that kitchen staples like spices, condiments, etc. were carried over from prior renters
Areas for potential improvement
- bath towels were a little threadbare and could use refreshing
- the kitchen did not have many serving bowls/platters; not a huge deal as we could just do buffet style out of whatever pot/pan we cooked in, but it would have been nice to have serving plates & a large salad bowls, etc.
- given the price, beach chairs & umbrellas to take to the beach would have been nice as not all beaches have rental options, but I understand that can present difficulty in tracking
- the house was decently clean on arrival, but some obvious areas (like dark grime in the downstairs master bathroom) were overlooked/missed
