Kitchen has everything! Spotless when we arrived. Host very responsive ovenmit request satisfied faster than Amazon! With a young child a plug for the bathtub would have been good, but understand the risks.Firebox a good bonus.
The kitchen was really well equipped. Food professionals, we really appreciated the breadth of the equipment. All appliances worked well. 200 steps from the ocean - one of our must-haves, walk out the door and just keep walking! Location and home were super quiet - lovely to "come home" to.

The perfect family getaway
This place is an absolute gem!
We came out with our one year old and dog for a week and had all the space and amenities we needed to keep the place clean and comfortable for a seven day stay. The breezeway was the perfect place to store our wet boots, Thule chariot and hiking backpack, while the outdoor shower came in super handy when it came to rising off sandy boots, clothes and specifically dogs!
The wood fire place kept the place cozy and warm while drying out our wet clothes for the next stormy walk, while the covered hot tub was just what we needed morning and afternoon.
Beds were super comfortable, the kitchen / house in general is stocked with literally anything you could possibly need and the host is super responsive.
We will for sure be back.
