The house is spacious, clean and well appointed. It’s one of the nicest and most comfortable we have rented. We had everything we needed inside and loved the layout of the house and the upper deck. The elevator was great for arrival day! We also loved the pool and hot tub. With young children (10, 7, 4) the pool was great when we were not at the beach.
My only complaint is that the recreational and beach equipment is in really poor shape. There was only one rusty beach chair (for 7 people), the three boogie boards were all broken, the clip-on beach umbrellas were rusted and broken, the bikes all had flat tires and rusty chains (the tire pump was ancient and didn’t work), there was only one set of wheels for the three kayaks so no way to transport them to the Sound down a very long block to the access point. Additionally, there is no raised organic garden, just overgrown weeds. There is no corn hole game. There was a broken water basketball floating hoop, no ball. In fairness, the owner reimbursed me for the purchase of three beach chairs and ordered a bike pump that was delivered midweek.
The whole carport area and fish cleaning area could use a good clean out. There is a lot of useless stuff in a general state of disrepair. We managed with what was there, but it was disappointing, considering the glowing descriptions and photos.
