We loved the location. Craig was so quick with communication. The house was spacious and we loved the lay out. The only recommendation we would have is we wished there were higher quality paper products.
My friends and I had an amazing weekend at this property. It slept all 12 of us comfortably. The location couldn’t be more perfect - walkable to the shops and restaurants, the Inn, the beach, and bike / walking trails. The property managers were so kind and responsive. There were some issues with the house- the main level toilet would not flush, chain corroded and tank dirty. There was a broken standing lamp. The dishwasher was broken. However the managers responded promptly to the toilet concern and had maintenance out the same day to take a look, it was temporarily fixed then stopped flushing once again. Thankfully there were a number of other functioning bathrooms that we hardly felt the absence of this one. Overall would still stay here again and recommend to you / your family / your group of friends!
