10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2024
This was the perfect spot for our multi-generational family getaway. There were things to do for all of our family members (23 -83 years old).
The house, built in 1900, is comfortable, spacious and built for recreation. Very “comfy, homey vibe”. It felt like we were at my great-aunts house.
We really appreciated having so many beds to choose from. Although we didn’t need all of them, some were more comfortable than others.
I specifically chose this listing because of the private pier and kayaks. We didn’t need to use the sailboat because we brought our own boat, but I thought it was a nice option.
Since it’s jellyfish season, we fished, crabbed, kayaked and boated. At night, we enjoyed the ping pong table, fire pit and board games. Nice variety of wildlife nearby. Deer, terrapins, snapping turtles , fish and crabs were all around.
When we needed a pot to cook the crabs in, the property manager was kind enough to deliver it within 10 minutes.
This was definitely a great choice for our family.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property while visiting the area for Christmas. This older home with lots of charm was like spending the night at Grandma's house. We really liked that the interior was kept as original as possible with lots of wood and the antique appliances worked well. The waterfront property has great views and the we really appreciated the Christmas decorations that made it feel like home. We also enjoyed playing Christmas music on the 1920s player piano. The dining area was very spacious and great for Christmas dinner. We enjoyed playing the available games since we were inside a lot with the low teens temperatures outside.
With a few minor improvements, I would consider this property perfect although none of these would prevent us from renting the property again. The HVAC struggled to keep up with the abnormally cold weather on the 1st floor. This could have been alleviated if the fireplace had been working (or better yet, a gas fireplace) One of the bathroom sinks had low water pressure. The seating while plentiful could be more comfortable.

We have stayed at many rental homes and were disappointed in this one.
When we were on our way to the house Ross called to tell us that the dishwasher was leaking and needed to be replaced so the guys came the next day to install a new one.
The same day the "Nest" that controls the air conditioner died and air conditioning shutdown as well. It was very hot day 93-95, one of the upstairs units was on the floor and Ross asked my husband to put it in the window, but the unit plug didn't match electrical outlet and it was missing the install kit . He also asked my husband to go into the basement and try to see what was wrong with nest/AC. Ross did call Hvac contractor who responded very promptly late Friday afternoon and it was the condensate safety switch on the pump. We texted him that the air was back up and running but then there was a severe storm and the power kept going out. The bathroom lighting did not work and we had to reset the multiple circuit breakers and gfi's. He never reached back out to us to see if everything was ok.
The house is older and needs full renovation, not just a quick shoddy handyman fix which has been done on some areas and poorly executed. There are some new windows and bathroom vanities are updated but things like the kitchen with its peeling cabinets, buggy windows, ancient stove and no electric in one of the outlets are in need of a fix. The floors in the bathroom are old with several of the tiles popping out. Needs curtains throughout whole house , the light from parking lot kept my son up at night. And not having a washer or dryer was a big problem. The planks on the dock need serious attention , I felt very uneasy walking on them. For the price of this rental you should not have to deal with any of these issues.
I have stayed in many older homes and they can have wonderful charm and character with the right decor, the center hall has this feel but rest of house lacks that and hasn't been modernized correctly.
Also there was a jelly fish everywhere in the water so be careful as they are stinging Sea Nettles, thankfully that did not happen to us as we just went kayaking.
