My family and I enjoyed the week we spent here. The house is well updated, nice appliances and very clean. We were impressed with the floors being so sand free when we arrived. We've stayed in beach cottages and homes for 5 years and this is the first time we walked in and felt at home. Some furniture was different than the photos but it was all immaterial changes. Low tide is very low! There were many sandbars which my daughter loved walking to and hunting for hermit crabs and other sea life. The waves and current are not strong, perfect for a family of OK swimmers. Having the sandbars and then high tide swimming kept us busy throughout the day. Fairfield is a nice town, some fun shops and plenty of great restaurants to try. We needed a few things (grocery, drugstore, clothing) through out our trip and didn't need to drive very far. I really appreciated being able to make a quick errand and then get back to the beach! The patio area is perfect to relax and take in the view. If you are sun sensitive later in the day the house provides perfect shade to sit in. The outdoor shower with a hose maybe over looked, but it was such a great help in doing rinse offs and filling a foot bath for quick rinses.
