We had a great stay. The house was very well stocked including half and half and butter and other kitchen items that are not usually available. The house has great climate control and comfortable beds, and has more than enough towels including beach towels- a great and convenient perk! We enjoyed Charlestown beach most days of the week. Not too crowded, nice sand, clean water. It’s a short drive from the house - about 8 min, and the parking fee is $20 but the house comes with a pass which is great.
The backyard is large and private, with a nice deck and screened in porch. I wish there had been a hammock and maybe a badminton set. I would also recommend the host put in an outdoor shower to help with sand. The hose worked fine, but outdoor showers are a nice feature.
There is a basketball hoop and ball which my son enjoyed.
Other things we liked: Water pressure is good, and two bathrooms was very nice with our teenage daughter. Neighborhood is quiet.
The host is very communicative, texts a lot. Some people enjoy that level of attentiveness, but we found it a little much. While I have zero complaints, and would recommend this house to anyone, I tend to prefer a bit more laid back host. There are notes all over the house and everything is “smart” including the air conditioning and lights which left us feeling a little controlled. I just like to feel like I’m not being watched when I go on vacation. However, still a great stay.
