This home did not disappoint us. Our summer vacation was a hit with our grandchildren. The location is awesome. Having access to the Kayaks and Paddle Boards made the adventure across the water way to the beach was so fun. We made a lot of great memories.

The house size was just right for our family of 9. I can’t think of anything I would change.

Very old home, nicely restored. Comfortable beds, very cute and fitting decor. The kitchen was disappointing- small won’t expect to cook for a larger family, the kitchen was dirty. I would not describe it as fully stocked. There are plates and some pots and pans and small appliances. The rest is odds and ends left from prior guests. The back patio overlooking the bay is very peaceful!!!

Thanks for taking the time to leave this thoughtful review. I’m glad the beds were comfortable and you liked the decor — and that the back patio overlooking the bay was peaceful. I’m sorry the kitchen didn’t meet expectations. You’re right that it’s on the smaller side for larger-family cooking, and it shouldn’t have been dirty or feel under-stocked. I’ve flagged the cleanliness issue with our housekeeping team and we’re doing a full inventory of plates, cookware, and small appliances to replace missing essentials and remove leftover items from previous stays. We’ll also update the listing to make the kitchen size clearer for future guests. Thanks again for the feedback — we appreciate it and hope you’ll visit again.

Superb location on the water with beautiful views from most of the rooms and all the living areas. Plus lovely sun deck. Slightly tricky entrance / exit, off the road but not a major hurdle. The house is airy, bright, clean, modern and a great place to relax. If sharing with friends, be aware that there are 3 private bedrooms, though plenty more bedding is available with sofa beds. We didn’t use the kayaks but at low tides there is a short but great bit of white water immediately by the house. Would certainly recommend for another holiday.

Thanks, Guest! So glad you enjoyed the waterfront views, sun deck and the bright, modern feel of the house. Appreciate the heads-up about the slightly tricky entrance — that’s a helpful note for future guests. Thanks too for calling out the bedroom layout and sofa-bed options, and the fun white-water spot at low tide. Hope to host you again — safe travels!

Beautiful home and view

The home and area were lovely. A few cleaning misses that I noted to the staff. Also in the listing, it would be helpful to note that there are step-ups and step-downs to a few of the rooms.
