Location: In the middle of nowhere, no phone reception for us (AT&T) within miles, no restaurants, gas stations, hiking, etc. within 15-20+ min drive (the road which causes these drives to shrink way down is currently closed). HOWEVER, it's away from the more crowded coastal areas. You might be the only one on the amazing beach for half a mile in any direction. So if you bring your own food to cook on the fully appointed kitchen, and then camp out at the house, it's quite nice.
House: Very nice looking place, very clean, and it's been updated everywhere except the upstairs bathroom, deck, and bedroom. The reason I mention that it's not great for a multifamily stay is that even though there are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, whoever stays in the downstairs bedroom gets the short end of the stick. The upper floor has squeaks and warped floorboards EVERYWHERE. I think there might be something really wrong with the structure, or the upgrades were done horribly. Either way, the squeaks are heard below-- every single step, no matter where on the upper floor you're walking.
The deck needs a refinish, as any time it's damp, it's very slick. Just a strip and a stain would work for awhile, but a replacement like what the neighbors have with glass walls would enable a view from the awesome top-quality adirondak chairs.
The wifi is very nice quality and keeps you connected if that's your thing :) The home also has landline phone.
The hot tub was nice and clean, but a bit old school in layout-- 2 people can sit in it if they keep their legs bent like sitting on a chair. Otherwise you're tangling up a bit, which might be OK.
Neighbors to one side were very present, and the lack of a high fence meant you would see each other from the hot tub or driveway. They would make a point to hop outside and linger every time we went out, it felt a bit weird. We like to keep to ourselves in general, maybe if you're more talkative it would be a positive?
Nice place if you don't plan to go to restaurants and "Staycation" for a single couple, or a very understanding and deep sleeping family/friends who wouldn't mind sleeping downstairs.
