This place never disappoints- even 10 years later!

House is perfect for a larger party. It’s very clean and lots of room to move about. One thing to be aware of: there were no kitchen towels, no bath mats, no beach towels, no beach items…You have to bring everything. If you’re ok with that, you’re good to go. Just be prepared. You need spices, bring them. If you’re thinking, they may have… don’t. Bring it yourself. If you expect anything more than basics, rent elsewhere. Side note: My family has rented summer houses here for over 30 years. This was the most minimal set up I have ever encountered.
6 / 10Average·May 2019
Pros:
Very close to a nice, uncrowded beach; good views of the water from the house; nice decks on second and top floors, and a nice area under the house with picnic tables and great shade. Quiet neighborhood of nice homes, nicely maintained and the house itself is attractive, clean and the public spaces are comfortably but not luxuriously furnished. Kitchen is adequately equipped, but barely (e.g., only one saucepan). Hostess is very prompt at replying to VRBO messaging.
Cons:
I am going to list here only things I didn’t know from the VRBO listing, since anything disclosed in the listing is something you can evaluate. For example, I think it is disclosed that you are charged $25 if you don’t load the dishwasher with all dirty dishes and run it before you check out.
You are expected to provide your own bath soap, dish soap, dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent. You are expected to provide your own paper towels, kitchen trash bags (after the first two), foil, plastic bags, and toilet paper in excess of the single roll provided per bathroom. You will receive only one towel per bed space (so, two towels for the two queen beds, one for each of the single beds) and you will be required to make your own bed with the clean linens provided before you can sleep in it.
You are instructed as your first step as a renter to conduct an audit of the owner’s possessions against a list and immediately advise of any discrepancy. Your bed will be covered with a very slippery plastic cover. As a result, the sheets provided will slide off and the bed becomes unmade in the middle of the night, making for difficult sleep.
You are expected to provide your own salt and pepper, oil, and coffee. There are no herbs, spices, tea, honey, mustard, ketchup, other condiments or any other food items provided unless you buy them.
In other words, unlike every other VRBO home I’ve stayed in, the kitchen is basically “empty” and so are the bathrooms. As you would expect from my description, there are absolutely no beach toys, chairsumbrellas or other paraphernalia provided except for what you bring or buy.
I am going into all this detail because I was shocked by the actualities of this VRBO rental after wonderful experiences I’ve had before with great hosts and hostesses who provided more than a bare bones rental and did not require me to do basic work like making up beds. If that’s not an issue for you, you might enjoy this place.
