Crow’s Nest Dec 24-31, 2022

The location and view from the Crow’s Nest are absolutely AMAZING! We certainly enjoyed our week stay and can make the most out of any situation. My wife and I and 3 children (11, 7, 5) had a fantastic time. HOWEVER, this property needs A LOT of TLC - rustic is an understatement. We arrived at 5pm to a home that was 45 degrees, thankfully the furnace worked and 3 hours later it was suitable. Truthfully, I’m not sure how this property passes code much longer without some work. 1.) The entire house sways, the floors are rotting in spots, and the structural beams are suspect at best. 2.)There were ants all over inside the house, the kitchen and bathroom were the worst, we had to put everything that would fit into the refrigerator. I bought ant traps and got them under control after a few days. 3.) the overall cleanliness was not good. There was actually bird poop on the ledge in the kitchen and up above the window. We found lots of lids, toys, and trash under and around furniture in every room. 4.) the guest bathroom toilet has a seal leak so it runs all day and night basically 5.) the oven works, but 2 of the burners on the stove top are broken and don’t work. Cookware is bare minimum at best - don’t plan on any home cooked meals 6.) I have never booked a house, that literally sits on the beach, that had FEWER beach accommodations. There were 2 old rusty beach chairs with broken straps…that’s literally ALL there was. The outdoor “shower” doesn’t work for washing your feet/sandals, there were ZERO sand toys, balls, etc. We bought a couple of volleyballs, frisbee, and sand toys for the kids while we were there and left them all for the next group to enjoy. 7.) the washer and drier are available, but one look at the rust inside the washer and we decided against doing any laundry. I hate to be too harsh on the property, we really did have a fantastic time, but it was solely because of the location and view. This property could be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING with some investment. We have a LOT of other beach properties our family has stayed in over the years, this one is at the absolute bottom of the list without question.

Amazing Place!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the perfect beach house. Great views and close to water. Very clean!! Only negative is the washer/dryer need updated (takes many hours for clothes to dry) and the path to beach could be landscaped. Other than that, this place is amazing and we will most definitely be back.
