Great location! House was in pretty good condition. Although two showers for 12 people was kind of hard, especially getting hot water. There was a broken window which freaked the kids out a bit. Also one of the doors to the porch wouldn't latch/lock unless you closed it just right. Grocery store is less than a minute walk which was super convenient. The beach was only a 4 minute walk. We had a great experience!

House was nice. A little quirky, but nice.The yard, however, was in desperate need of maintenance. The grass had not been mowed in weeks. Bushes were overgrown, and vines grew on everything! The outside stairway to the kitchen has a broken handrail. One of the downstairs sinks, the hot water couldn’t be turned off because the handle hit the spout before completely closing, but that was an easy fix. The ceiling fan in one bedroom was useless at night because the fan wouldn’t come on unless the light switch was on, which controlled many ceiling lights in the room. The entire property just begged for a little love.Having said that, we had a great time. The location is perfect. Close to the beach, the IGA grocery store, and restaurants.

Great house & location

House was mid-island and a great location with ample space and quite comfortable. The only issue was the lack of cooking supplies and utensils, which the company made partially better by bringing a basic utensil set. It was difficult cooking dinner as it was bare minimum (well below the basic things needed for simple meal prep-i.e. the only large knife was a very damage serrated edge that was not even able to cut a beef tenderloin.) This is our only complaint though. The house was great. The rental company was great and very responsive. The location was great.

Excellent home to vacation in.

This home was incredibly spacious and comfortable. The beds were perfect and pillows were fluffy. It was incredibly clean. Grocery store, restaurants and beach only a block or less away. The only con I have is if you are physically compromised the stairs could be an issue. Still a 5 out of 5
