House layout good for family of 6. Amenities were POOR, especially for premium price. No baking dishes. Almost empty supply of garbage bags, laundry soap, aluminum foil/baggies. No hair dryers. Would never suggest renting in winter! Front doors don’t tightly close, wind drafts terrible. Couldn’t get heat up. No snow shovels or salt. Dissatisfied.

Beautiful house and nicely laid out with a great view. This house needs to have hair dryers in bathrooms. At this price point, not an unreasonable expectation.

This home is wonderful! Completely updated inside with large bathrooms a huge kitchen. We had 7 adults and one child and never felt crowded. The view is absolutely amazing! There is a fire pit on the beach and tables and chairs outside to enjoy the scenery. Make sure you check out Rozzi’s, a neighborhood pub around the corner with huge menu and great food. My only complaint was that Champ didn’t make an appearance during our stay.
