• Good stay but needs improvement

  3/5

  Overall our stay was good. The house was huge and very accommodating for our large family weekend. More than enough beds and the beds/pillows were actually comfortable. Kitchen had more than enough dishwater, utensils, cups. There was several things that were not ok though. The grill was not usable. It was rusted and looked like it’s been left out or open in bad weather. We were not able to cook on it. Even if we could, we would have needed to buy our own propane. I have never had a rental supply a barbecue with no propane. We did however, find a small grill smoker in the basement that we were able to buy charcoal for and used it to get the job done. However, being that we planned both of our dinners to barbecue for 20+ people it was a bit tedious to cook on a small grill.The house can accommodate 20+ people, but some items did not suffice for 20+ people for three nights/4 days. There was one roll of paper towels for our entire stay, only two rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, and five small trash bags for the entire stay, needless to say we had to buy paper towels, toilet paper, and trash bags for the household. There was no aluminum foil, or Ziploc bags. I know this isn’t mandatory, but it is nice if the kitchen is stocked. Lastly, we requested to leave an hour later as 10 AM was pretty early to get out 20+ people. They honored the request, but asked if we could wash a load of towels. Not a problem, but the rental does not provide any kind of laundry detergent so we had to buy that too. I do want to recognize that all of these things I’m sure aren’t mandatory. I just have never stayed at a rental that did not have sufficient amount of paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, and all necessities for the kitchen and to cook. So something to keep in mind if you are renting this property with a lot of guests.Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay, but just think that the owners might want to adjust a few things to make the stay even more pleasant.

  The house is fantastic. Very large and great location. The drawbacks were some of the small details, windows dirty, Grill not cleaned, foosball and pool table not good, when we moved the couches it was not clean. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again, I just wish they would just address the small issues.

  5/5

  We had 23 ppl stay in this house for 3 nights. Michelle was our contact and was very helpful, answering all of our questions.

  The 2 bedrooms on the main floor share the full bath that is just off the kitchen.

  The 3 bedrooms up the main stairs are wonderful. Tw of them share the same hallway bathroom but one has its own bath and a large closet that a 2 yr old’s pack ‘n play fit in beautifully. The other bedroom above the garage is very private and large and has its own bath.

  The living areas (living room and game room) are very large, each with lg TV, and much comfy seating. The dining area has a very large table. The kitchen is tiny but well stocked with dishes, flatware. - with a table & 4 chairs.

  Nice front porch.

  Very close to an adorable very handy market called white duck market. The owner is great.

  Almost a mile to public beach. My husband and I walked easily. A dune to climb and run down.

  We were very pleased with everything about the house.

  Extra full refrigerator in the garage.
