I stayed here with my mother, boyfriend and 2 fur babies. The place was perfect! My mom absolutely loved the house as it’s the oldest house like the description says. It’s not fancy and
Our family of twelve had a wonderful stay. There is plenty of room so you’re not running over one another. The beds were comfortable we loved every inch of the property. If I had to find a negative, it would be the lack of a second trash can out side. We had a lot of garbage (we cooked all our meals) and the can wouldn’t hold it all. Overall we were thrilled with our stay. The walk to the beach was easy and short. We had no problem crossing the street to get to the beach. The neighborhood is nice and we met and talked to several locals. I would stay here again in a minute. Nothing but good things to say.
Fabulous view! This is indeed a quirky house. Everything was as presented in the description. We were surprised there was no dishwasher and I will be sure to check for that in future listings. My only complaint was the floors were not properly cleaned. The first morning I was walking around bare foot and propped my feet up on an ottoman and my wife told me to look at the bottoms of my feet. They were black. The owner needs to have a talk with the cleaning crew. Also very surprised there was no stemware in the house. We had to go to Walmart several miles away to get wine glasses. We did enjoy our stay overall. I would suggest the owners invest in a portable or roll away dishwasher.
