Like most things, you have pros & cons.
Pros: This house was in a great location…less than 15 min drive to historic district (during xmas holidays). It’s on a dead end street, very quiet and yes, probably 100 steps to the beach. I love that the house, Beach & town are all pet friendly. Kitchen is very well equipped. The house is small, but spacious & comfy. Nice furniture & decor. Great water pressure & hot water & loved that they provided plenty of body wash, shampoo & conditioner. The house itself has its cracks & cobwebs, but overall clean & well maintained.
Cons: not enough towels. 3 of us stayed here and we were provided 2 very cheap, thin & small bath towels; plenty of hand towels, but not enough to shower - had to grab a beach towel. Toilet paper.. for the love of Pete, our bottoms would greatly appreciate good quality toilet paper. The paper they provided was horribly thin & like sand paper…no lie when I say my bottom was irritated :( Then, there’s the master bed…my husband & I slept bad every night. It caves in the middle & very uncomfortable, overall. My back was screaming the whole time. The Bed in 2nd room was fine according to my daughter. No throws/blankets. The days we were there it was cold & we’re not huge fans of the heater, so we kind of struggled bc there were no extra blankets. Also, pictures in the description shows grass in the backyard…there is none…it’s dirt & one of the reasons I chose this property was bc of the grass for my small dog. Lots of rules posted throughout the house & that takes away from the relax - homey feeling…” if you do this, you’ll get charged…if you don’t do that, you’ll get charged”. I’ve stayed at numerous properties & I’ve never seen this. I understand it’s someone’s property, but I was uneasy the whole time that I’d do something wrong. OVERALL, the house is GREAT. A few minor changes can go really far & make for a better experience. I recommend it - just plan on taking toilet paper & towels!
