The location of this house is amazing. Right on the ocean in a pretty quiet part of Westport. It is a beautiful walk to Horseneck Beach or Gooseberry Island. If I could give the location more than five stars, I would. Also the house, while it has a quirky layout, is really usable space. We were five adults and the bedrooms are all spaced in a way to allow for privacy from each other. And, while the house only has 1.5 baths, the existence of the half bath (and relaxed vacation schedules) makes the bathroom set up quite workable. The only downside to this house is how the kitchen is stocked. The basic appliances are there, but it was not stocked with enough cooking or eating basics. In fact, there were just four coffee cups, three full size plates, and only plastic "Solo" cups for drinking. There were stacks of paper plates which I assume the owners want us to use, but I really don't want to eat off paper plates multiple nights in a row. I do appreciate that the owner may not want breakable plates and glasses in a beach rental, but there is plenty of nice plastic/chinet out there. We ended up going to the store and purchasing nice picnic plates and glasses that we brought home with us. So, bottom line,
we would be happy to go back to this house but would pack our own kitchen supplies and enjoy dinner on the beautiful deck. But, if you are someone who mostly eats out anyway, no concerns -- enjoy the unbeatable location.
