We drove up to this property, very excited to see a place that matched the pictures and description
on the listing. While all the pictures are accurate, I think they left out some key details: 1) The stairs are narrow and steep, which could easily lead to a fall, 2) as an old Cape house (and it is), there are cleaning issues that go far beyond "were the cleaners here?" The things we noticed (stained sheets and comforters, broken fixtures in one of the bathrooms, etc.) were not current at all.
On the positive side: 1) the view is very nice, and 2) the master bedroom was nice (except for the stained comforter and sheets), 3) I imagine the house would be great for a young family who needed lots of space. Also, the living room is the nicest part of the house for sure.
We were so concerned about safety (I have arthritis and osteoporosis, meaning a fall could be REALLY bad for me, and all of us are in our late 50s or 60s) that we actually LEFT this property and were lucky enough to find another on short notice. We went there for the remainder of our stay. (So yeah, we paid twice for what turned out to be a 4-day vacation - we drove up on Saturday, spent all day Sunday scanning VRBO and local realtors for another place, finally finding and booking one close to midnight. Monday we repacked what we had unpacked, drove to the new place, and re-unpacked. This took us up to around 6pm. So our actual
vacation part of this weeklong trip was Tues, Wed, Thurs, and Fri.) Good times.
