Sep 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very well-equipped property in one of the nicer parts of town. The backyard alone is worth the stay. The hot tub is plenty big, and the sand volleyball court was a hit with our group. The screened in porch (with a TV!) was also lovely. ##### Adam K.

We could hang in the open kitchen/living room or screened in pouring, hottub was easy to get in and felt great, we used the bocce ball court a lot, and ended the weekend in front of the firepit. Lots of beds and space to accommodate everyone. ##### Michael H. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank D.

Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lisa H. Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy While there were things to like about this property, we were quite disappointed in a number of things. The pictures paint an overly flattering picture of the space - it felt almost like this property was forgotten about over the course of the summer. Overgrown areas in the backyard, including in the bocce court which rendered it unplayable. Lots of doors that didn't close properly, including a bathroom door. Two of the four rooms upstairs had significant issues, including a "bedroom" that shouldn't be listed as a bedroom. The downstairs space was nice and accommodated our group of 7 well, but some safety and amenity issues there as well. We've stayed in this area every summer for 15 years and this is the most we've paid for a rental, and we found it very overpriced for the quality. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/10127841-6c32-451a-888a-a07ee45de7cb-1755554085695.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eb597a64-7047-4760-85e4-d39e4e416376-1755554085790.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7f714ef5-2c76-4b10-b339-791cca5438d1-1755554079165.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/586a3286-fc49-41f7-a659-c7e56a8b6cbe-1755554081015.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lisa H.

The house is adorable. The backyard was absolutely perfect for our kiddos. They enjoyed many games of volleyball and riding bikes all over the neighborhood. We also enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. It was a peaceful and quiet area and the walk to the beach was great. We will absolutely look into staying here again! Thanks for a great fall break. The only things I will note is that there was no toilet paper or paper towels provided which was fine but maybe I missed that on the listing. Also, I would have liked to sweep up before we left but I could not find a dustpan. And there were no dish towels or dishcloths that I could find. Other than that everything was great! ##### Jessica M. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott M. Aug 10, 2025 ##### Scott M.
