I bet this is great in the summer!

Shoreline is awesome! All sand. Fire pit, plenty of parking- yard and privacy are great. I’m assuming we were probably the first visitors of the season- a few cobwebs in the corners. Water STUNK- even after running it for several minutes multiple days. Fly tape was still hanging…and it was just above the toaster. It’s a nice old nostalgic cabin- could have been cleaner. Top of fridge was thick with dust….but overall a nice place to stay. Not sure if it was worth 2300.00 for three nights…especially with the weather-oh- and there was an old sink, tire and rope laying in the yard? Classy.

Nice property

It's a great property with awesome beach access. Home needs some improvements and cleaning. Since there is not a dishwasher, instructions said to sterilize silverware with bleach upon arrival. No bleach was provided & not informed ahead of time to bring any. We would stay again, but plan better for needed items.

Great Location and Beach

The only downside was the invasion of mice (therefore the 3 star)...in fact we brought one home - not by choice - in the shoe bag of my husband and you could hear them at night. They ate some of our food- but fortunately we also have a rustic cabin It was a fantastic beach property nonetheless.... We would return and I suspect they will deal with the mice - we did leave a note and there was at least one dead mouse the morning we left. So I say all and all it's great. Also it was a great place to bike - we were almost at the end of the island and could make a really. nice loop to the other side. Very quiet.
