The house is located on the west side of the island, which is further out, but we didn't mind since we were spending family time altogether in one place. The private walkway to the beach was so wonderful to have, and just picturesque. The beach was clean and felt private.
The size of the house was great for our extended family (we had total of 8 adults in the 4 bedrooms and 4 teens in the bunk room). All rooms had good beds, bedding. The kitchen is updated with all fairly new, great quality appliances. The living room and dining room was just large enough for our group. Everything was mostly positive!
But a few negative comments are: (1) the bathroom outside of the bunk room had remains of lots of dead bugs around shower door floors which owner said likely after they did pesticide but didn't get vacuumed, was gross to clean up ourselves (2) bunk room blanks and extra blankets in closets were musty and we needed to launder them before use (3) while kitchen is fully stocked with utensils/tools for cooking, the house is not stocked for disposable items that most rental homes would have like toilet paper, soap, garbage bags, paper towels, oils, spices. the owner let us know well in advance, but if you are traveling in from out of state it presents a hassle to have to stock for these types of items (not including food you'd cook). (4) floors are sandy from beach so remember to bring house slippers (5) despite pre-cleaning for pests as the owner assured us, we still encountered bugs such as cockroaches, mosquitos, ants -- but we assume there's only so much that can be done about these pests in this part of the country
Overall - we had a wonderful time and stay during Thanksgiving break. We cooked a full thanksgiving meal and also shopped for fresh seafood in the Strand and brought back for a seafood boil and bbq'd oysters. Pablo who's the owner/mgr is very kind, communicative, responsive and easy to work with. We'd recommend this rental with the few comments/suggestions noted above.
