We had a wonderful week. Loved the deck and pool. This compact house packs a lot of punch, with plenty of areas for our family to all be together and to enjoy ourselves in smaller clusters. At night, my husband and I listened to music on the deck while our 20-something kids sat around the fire pit roasting marshmallows. Or some of us watched a movie in the living room while others watched something else in the den. We played ping pong, swam day and night, grilled dinner. Loved Meschutte Beach, on a bay about a 15-min drive away and with a surprisingly good seafood restaurant. Our other favorite dining spot was Buoy One.
When maintenance issues cropped up at the house (the pool heater & filter didn't work at first, one toilet wouldn't flush, and the grill wouldn't light), Darrin responded quickly to resolve them. When you book, do check with him to see if there are wash cloths along with the towels provided. (There was only one wash cloth when we arrived.)
We felt immediately at home--comfortable beds, couches, chairs, and lounges, indoor and outdoor dining tables, sturdy beach chairs and umbrellas. We also really appreciated the spice rack in the attractive kitchen since we cooked a lot. Another pleasant perk was the skylights in both upstairs bathrooms.
