This property is amazing, the views are spectacular. The house has everything you need for an incredible laid back vacation.
The pros: there are too many to list but the hot tub, golf cart, bicycles, kayaks, and ease of access to the beach is just a few.
The cons: the shower in the upstairs master bath needs some type of shelf to sit you shampoo, soap etc. if you are traveling with elderly people keep in mind there are lots of stairs. and the other 2 bedrooms could use TVs . Yep that’s about all the cons . We had a great time!
Overall, property was fine. Not close to beach though.
Overall, we enjoyed the house and location. However, there are a few things to be aware of:
1. When we arrived the house smelled badly (like rotten trash)
2. The trash bins (recycle and regular trash) were full and smelled badly. The recycle bin was not picked up by the trash company. The regular trash was picked up.
3. There was dog hair on the furniture in the great room.
4. The floors and deck were unclean. Appeared someone had just done a cursory sweeping.
5. We had to change the batteries in two of the tvs.
6. The Tv and remote are not at correct height in the great room - have to stand up to change channel.
7. There were only 4 coffee cups, not enough.
8. The kitchen trash can doesn't close.
9. Gate latches are rusty and hardly operable.
10. There is poison ivy at back gate and in bushes around front landscape.
11. Fan needs to be added to back deck to make the space usable.
12. One of the back step treads (near deck) is cracked and potential hazard.
13. Dog poop was left in yard by previous tenants.
14. Not enough outside chairs and one of the plastic chairs is broken.
15. Rug in master has pet stains.
16. Rusty vent /air supply near toe kick in master bath.
17. Exhaust fan in powder room needs to be cleaned.
18. Kitchen fan is not vented to outside and doesn't remove food odors.
19. Need to list grill, kayaks and paddle board as option on the Homeaway site. We brought our own which was unnecessary, as it turned out.
20. Need throw blankets and area rugs in great room.
21. Lightbulb out in upstairs bath.

Stunning view of the sound.
First the positives: The well built home in a beautiful neighborhood is a remarkable place. Well set up for our dogs and we appreciated the fenced yard, deck, and sensible furnishing that were both comfortable and durable. The décor was eclectic and playful with lots of beach art and décor. The feeling was right. Kitchen well planned and mostly well equipped. Negatives: the maintenance is not good. What a shame to allow this house to decay like this. HVAC didn't work, so we checked the filters and they were totally clogged both upstairs and down. Went to the store and got new ones, and bingo...all worked fine. Kitchen needs coffee cups(3 cups for a house this size is just not right!), and a hot mat for cooking. Minor details unless you are the one that didn't get a cup when the house "sleeps 12". This is a 3 bedroom house with a sunporch that has no secure door. It's not a 4 bedroom! Open loft.....not a bedroom! It has 3 conventional beds, K(1), Q(1), F(1), so all remaining are futon, sofa bed, swing, trundle. Back stair is rotting and dangerous. Dock is in bad repair and seat is dangerous; access was overgrown and we had to prune away over hanging vegetation to walk onto the dock. Advertised two kayak(one has a hole in it) and one paddleboard (with no paddle). These are all simple maintenance things to fix and it is sad to be disappointed. Overall we enjoyed the house and the view, general amenities. I will say that I rented through VRBO to avoid rental agencies, and immediately after booking got transferred to one. Long contract with all kinds of changes to the program, including check in time and no guarantee of any working air conditioning. I think that is just ridiculous! So I will be careful to make sure I am dealing with an owner operator in the future and not a realty company. Properly maintained and with a personal manager, this could be 5 stars.
