Lots of good things about this charming little house, letâs start there.
The galley kitchen is small but serviceable with a nice table that seats 4. The bedrooms are very well appointed and comfortable and the bathrooms are AMAZING!! Clearly a great deal of care and detail was given. The master suite is lovely and there is a wonderful assortment of toys, books, games and puzzles made available as well as DVDs.
The hosts are warm and communicative and helpful.
Wrap around deck is in rough shape, shoes must be worn, and yard is fine, if that matters to you.
Hereâs the thing: the âwalkable to beachâ part in the listing description, which was a major priority for us, is debatable. Perhaps for an adult carrying only a bag and a beach chair itâs feasible. But with children itâs really not doable so you must resort to the âdrive to beach drop off drive to house ride bike back rinse repeat in reverseâ model. Not the end of the world but not possible if, say, thereâs only one adult. So thatâs the reason for the 4 stars. Apparently weekly permits are available, which we found out kinda too late for it to make sense to purchase. And let me tell you they are SERIOUS about parking tickets.
Thereâs also a pretty extensive wrap up/clean up list- more so than most rentals Iâve experienced- so itâs not a get up and drive away type of deal.
Overall, though, beautiful area and lots to do and explore. Local childrenâs museum very sweet and surrounding towns fun to check out.
