This is our new summer house

We loved our stay here! Pros - *location, 3 bedrooms with a bathroom in each room, the kitchen!!!, the neighbors, just perfect. The property manager Greg was so responsive & kind! The kitchen has plenty of supplies for cooking and making drinks Need a spot to put something - plenty of cabinet space Water pressure is great. Instant hot water Central AC - works excellent. The light grey paint throughout is much better than the photos of the red. Outdoor shower & place to rinse your sandy feet out front Tons of places to curl up by a window and read a book Beach equipment included - boogie boards, chairs, shovel for sandcastles or digging for sand crabs Master bath - 2 shower heads.Power strip cords to plug in alllll the things by beds - so needed. Cons - The beds and pillows. honestly — terrible. The front door - the instructions for how to open the door are horrible.No spices, no condiments - if you are going to cook you will need to buy everything. Even pepper. Lack of tvs throughout - there is only 2. Living room and large 2 bedroom with 2 beds.

Wonderful home in a perfect location

We love this home! Lots of space, fun layout, great kitchen, nicely updated/decorated, four nice bathrooms, outdoor shower, garage, patio with ocean view, tons of windows for ocean breezes, nice backyard with a grill, beach chairs/towels/umbrellas... everything you need! It is truly a home away from home. Location is perfect - less than a block from the stairs to the beach and a short, easy walk to the village. We were literally sad to leave. Highly recommend.

Great location & wonderful home.

Our family loved staying in this home. It was much more spacious than we anticipated which allowed us to spread out. As you walk in the front door, you have a very comfortable living room & office off to the side which allowed my husband privacy to work from home. The dining room & kitchen are also very spacious & plenty of room for our family of 6 to enjoy. My oldest just got married so she was able to enjoy the downstairs bedroom with private bath & queen size bed. Upstairs both the master & second guest bedroom were super spacious. The guest bedroom had 2 queen size beds & the master had a King which I was not expecting from previous review. The master bath is huge & everything has been updated. There is also a loft area in between the 2 upstairs bedrooms which was nice for my 16 year old son to hang out & play video games. That room opens to a nice balcony where you can sit & watch the sunset. There is a TV upstairs & downstairs. The outdoor patio off the kitchen is very private & has a nice barbecue. It also has a spacious 1 car garage with boogie boards, chairs & towels. The location is perfect. It is on a quiet road just a half block to the beach. The stairs to go down to the beach are right at the end of our street which is another bonus. It is also a short 3-5 minute walk into town. We will definitely stay here again. We loved that it was cozy, clean & very comfortable to stay in.

Overall really great place

Overall all was great. I would definitely recommend. But giving 4 stars because there are some really easy things that can be done that would make this a five star property: 1. WiFi was next to useless. Had to use cell phone data plan as wireless could not handle basic web surfing 2. Great sizable bedrooms, but shocking no king beds. The master at least should be a king bed not a queen. 3. Basic needs like trash bags, paper towel, soap, etc was available but only super limited quantities. I feel like this owner can turn all 4 star reviews into 5 star, and raise price $50-$100 per night, and easily cover the cost of fixing the above items. These are so easy to fix. All that said, I still recommend and would definitely stay again.

Spacious, comfortable home by the beach

Location is very convenient to the beach, though you have to cross a fairly busy street. Also easy to walk downtown to shops, restaurants, and the train station. The home was beautiful and well appointed. The pictures do not do it justice. Really enjoyed the private backyard patio and oceanview deck. Home is very spacious for a large family and had comfortable beds. Each bedroom has a private bathroom, which was nice. There was a problem with one shower during our stay; however, the management company was quite responsive and resolved the problem. We would return and would recommend the property!

Wonderful property and extremely well appointed. Good location. Issues were hair dryer and soap

Great property and would recommend. Two minor issues contrasted the wonderfully appointed house. With 3 master suites, there was only one hair dryer. Secondly, the bars of soap were not enough. We each had them for our respective sinks, but none for the showers. For such a nice and fairly expensive property, that was pretty cheap. We have stayed in many homes and condos and they always have sufficient soap and small containers of hair products. This is first time they were not supplied. You may see this as minor, but each guest in each room commented on that and it was such a contrast to the overall household amenities. Otherwise, would highly recommend and please pass on to the owners that they have done an exceptional job in appointing everything that you would need for a comfortable stay.

Fantastic, perfect for our 50th anniversary celebration!

Check-in was easy, the house welcoming, roomy, has plenty of chairs and tables-in and outdoors, and everything we could want for cooking. It truly couldn’t have been better! The weather was the only negative for us-mostly cloudy with some rain, but there was plenty of room for all of us to lounge around and feel at home.

Perfect location, beautiful home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location of this property is perfect for beaching, dining and shopping! The house is spacious and the kitchen was better equipped than my own! The only disappointment was the lack of a king size bed. The listing of bed sizes is inaccurate on VRBO and that was a huge problem for my guests. Should be corrected.
