Beautiful location, a little more maintenance needed
The location of this rental is beautiful, overlooking Granite Pier and the water. We loved sitting on the deck, walking down to the pier in the morning with our little one, and the ease of getting to town (it’s walkable, but a little harrowing to cross the narrow bridge around a curve with no real sidewalk, so we only did the walk once). The washer and dryer in such a small place were greatly appreciated. The property itself is cute—love the skylight and the big casement window in the bedroom!— but in need of a little love. Half of the windows won’t open, which means it’s hard to catch those ocean breezes and it’s necessary to run the AC a lot of the time. But the AC units are old, and the one in the bedroom produced a mildew odor that filled the small cottage when it was on. The outdoor furniture is on its last legs, and the fridge is pretty old—it leaked on the floor one day and froze some of our veggies, but it did keep the beer cold! Note: this is a much better place for adults than young children. There’s a steep flight of stairs off the deck that is also the main entrance to the property, and riding herd on an 18-month-old was anxiety-producing. As another guest mentioned, the couch is the kind you slide off if you sit on it for very long, and the entrance door is a little tricky to find. Make sure to follow the directions provided, and not Google!
