Liked: Check-in, communication, location
We had a wonderful week here and the location is hard to beat. The views are beautiful, the beach is just steps away, and it’s an easy walk into Frankfort. We also enjoyed the family photos throughout the house and even found ourselves trying to piece together the family tree!That said, the house could use some maintenance and better stocking, especially for larger groups. While it’s advertised to accommodate a large number of guests, we found there weren’t enough bath towels, only one beach towel, limited toilet paper, too few cereal bowls and not enough silverware for our group of 12.The basement also had a strong musty smell, an overfull dehumidifier, and a bedroom that didn’t feel suitable for sleeping because of the dampness. There were a few maintenance issues as well, including a closet door off its hinges in the basement and a first-floor tub/shower that wouldn’t drain because the stopper was stuck closed.Sleeping arrangements were tighter than expected. The attic futon was very thin and uncomfortable and didn’t function well as a regular bed, so we ended up rearranging where everyone slept.Overall, we made wonderful memories here and really enjoyed our stay thanks to the fantastic location. With a few repairs, some updated furnishings, and better stocking for the number of guests advertised, this property could be an exceptional rental.
