Very very clean and nicely decorated. Might be a little tricky for older people to navigate the stairs. You had to really be careful. Backyard was huge and nice for our dog. Most amenities we have had in a rental. Could have more storage for the rentals to put their groceries. Caution for older people

This house was spectacular. Very honey and roomy with a huge back yard. Three bedrooms and comfortable beds. Two beds in the downstairs bedroom. Two full bathrooms and a full size washer and dryer. Very nicely decorated. All cupboards marked and Keurig coffee and also teabags available. Bathrooms had all kinds of little amenities. I needed a bandaid and they had one there. Quiet street. Easy drive to beach and submarine museum. Highly recommend especially for family or two couples with up to 4 young kids (who could bunk together). Only 3 of us since one person backed out. Too much room for us. Also games.

Very clean, quiet, and charming. I enjoyed the quiet and having everything available that we could possibly need (even spare readers, thank you!!!) for a weekend of R&R. Dogs LOVED the fenced yard to run free and the host was very responsive. I would stay here again if returning to the area. Just a lovely and peaceful stay, Thank you!

Perfect house for our family

Beautifully decorated older 3BR house. We loved the layout and the fenced in yard for our dog. The owner has thought of everything one might need for a short stay. The house had comfortable beds and up to date appliances. Good location—our only negative was that we were hoping we could walk to the beach but it was a little too far so we drove. Otherwise, a nice relaxing few days and we would stay here again.

Wonderful stay

We were highly impressed by the cleanliness of this house and overall amenities offered. We are a family of 4 who brought our maltipoo along on a memorable vacation. The house was very well taken care of, offered many things to make your stay more comfortable (extra blankets, everything you could need in the kitchen, extra toiletries should you have forgotten anything, etc.). While we are out of the pack-and-play stage I greatly appreciated seeing one with sheets, etc. Kid friendly dishes, bowls and cups also offered were a pleasant surprise. The location served us very well too. Kruse Park (dog friendly beach) is less than 5 minutes away and was phenomenal - clean, beautiful and much less crowded than the other beaches. We also took day trips to other towns making this location very convenient as well. On a rainy day we took in the children's museum which was a hit for our 2nd grader and preschooler. Note: Two beach chairs were available for us to use as well as a new washer and dryer. When reviewing prior reviews, these are mentioned as suggestions, so I'm happy to share they are now offered. Both made our stay more enjoyable.
