While this little house has had some nice updating, particularly upstairs with a brand new, very well equipped kitchen, the downstairs of the house was dark and rather dank. It also has a strange layout with only1/2 bath on the lower level. The only full bath was attached to the primary bedroom on the upper level. There is a nice outdoor shower with good water pressure however but it’s a bit odd have only 1 indoor shower in a house that can sleep 8. The upstairs primary bedroom had no window blinds and one of the 2 windows did not have a screen so we could risk opening it as the bugs on the island are an issue. This was a major negative! All windows need to have working screens. as unfortunately, Only the upstairs of the house had any type of air conditioning and 2 of the 3 window units were very old and loud and did little to cool things down. Granted it was an unusually hot and humid week on Cape Cod but 2 of the 3 units should be replaced.
Perhaps most important of all, renters need to be made fully aware of the tide limitations of living on Lt. Island and the fact that there can be SEVERAL hours when you can not drive your car on or off the island. The limited access is mentioned only briefly in the listing but for anyone not familiar with living by the tides this could be a major drag. Several evening during our stay we had to leave a car on the island side of the bridge and wade through thigh high water to get across the bridge. Some days there are 2 high tides to deal with and advance planning is required.
On the more positive side, the island is beautiful and tranquil and the house was very clean when we arrived , except for overflowing garbage outside, and all the beds were made with nice, high quality bedding . The management company was responsive to the garbage situation and arranged to have it picked up the day after our arrival and at our request they also promptly brought us 2 new fans to help with the smell on the lower level.
