I loved the quiet, the accessibility of the ocean view, whether walking 20-25 minutes to the shore, out the back gate to the vast overlook at Wedding Point, or staying right on the property and sitting in a chair. I loved finding little trails and walk the intertwining roads around Shelter Cove. There are treasures, like the Fitness trail bing only 10 minutes from the house, a pathway with little wooden pillars that identify the plants along the way, or a labyrinth with a lovely wood carved pole closer to the cove. The house was warm, simple and had everything one needed. I was there for a time of solitude, and found it just right for that. It serves as a place to be quiet, to be a hermit if one likes, or as a wonderful place to enjoy with others. I enjoyed going to the General Store a couple of miles away and also visiting the little art/gift store attached to it. I bought some art supplies there to enjoy alone in the quiet, as the house only had games to play with others. ##### Carmen B. ### 4/10 Poor #### Terri W. Nov 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not what we expected It was a work out just to get to the house. 2 flights of stairs to get to the house then another 2 to get to living quarters. Ocean view from the backyard would have been nice if the neighbors deck wasn’t literally right there. Could not use the game room with the big projector. They did not mention you had to bring your own device. We have a MacBook and the adapter was not compatible. No dvd player or movies to hook up to. The only bathroom on the top floor had no window shade and was very uncomfortable to use. We left a day early. ##### Terri W. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason A. Nov 6, 2023 #### Nice The whole family enjoyed the home. The lock was a little difficult to figure out. No lock on the main bathroom and no shelf in the shower to put your clothes but overall in was very nice. 2 pullout couches and a queen in a closet and the main queen bed. Lots of room for people to sleep. The projector was a little difficult but we had a laptop to play off of. Otherwise bring a DVD player and some movies ##### Jason A.
