Positives: Quiet, and unsurpassed water views. Narrow beach and shallow water make this home perfect for young children. Owner generously provides kayaks and paddle boards. House is clean, and views from large windows are lovely. Owner Is flexible, casual, and responds quickly to questions.
Negatives: There were a number of small, but distracting issues including (loud) leaky faucet that lacked sink stopper, food left in freezer, dead light bulbs, dirty lounge chairs which required cleaning before use, a dangerously protruding pipe in the yard, and the owner’s friendly, but scary, pit bull escaping/running free. Worst issue resulted from what may have been a dead mouse, and terrible odor, that restricted use of laundry room and third bathroom. In short, owner should take a very thorough walk through immediately prior to every guest rental. This would likely result in identifying and addressing problems, and a more consistently satisfying guest experience.
To her great credit, owner demonstrated interest in honest/corrective feedback. Hope she thrives managing this home.
