We were in town for a funeral. To say the host went above and beyond to turn a bad situation as bright as possible would be a huge understatement! The beautiful house along with the kind treatment really did make us feel better. We can't wait to be able to visit again when we can more enjoy this beautiful beach house! Thank you again!

Wow, reasonably priced, excellent views and quiet.

Did I mention the Bald Eagles soaring in front of our windows??Nice home in a quiet neighborhood. Very close to the town and far enough for quiet. We had a couple of questions that were immediately addressed by the owners. I would happily stay here again.

Could be a great vacation rental with lots of work

The property could be really nice, however, it was not very clean, there was no hot water in the shower, the advertisement said it had central heat and air, and when we texted the owner to ask how to turn on the heat she said the HVAC wasn't being installed for another week or so. The listing also claimed to have a sleeper sofa in the living room but it did not. Lastly, and most importantly, the owners home is connected to the rental via a door, which has no lock on the rental side and at one point, when we complained about no hot water, the owner just opened the door to give us an update and just yelled, "hello, hello", without knocking or coming to the front door! We were very uncomfortable after that, knowing that they could/would enter our space at any time without any prior notice.
