Long Weekend
Review Submitted: September 28, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2009
We stayed at the house over Labor Day weekend. Perfect end to the summer. We had gorgous weather, easy hop to the town beach for walking and kite flying and to Nickerson Pond for picknicking and boating. The fish market by the pier is heaven- spoils you for fish back home. I enjoyed the quirky archtectural details, interesting not your typical rental decor and quet woodland location. Garden? not so much. We were joined for an overnight by young film buffs- something in the collection for everyone.
I'm finicky. The property was surface clean but could use some end of the seasons touch ups, the walls spot painted, carpet and comforters cleaned, pillows replaced, stove thoroughly cleaned. We brought our own linens, quilts, pillows, towels and some cookware and storage containers and serving dishes- glad we did. We ended up renting bikes, my husband found the chains on the supplied bikes rusty. We're semi-serious bike riders and I'm a serious cook, for casual use would be adequate.
We'd rent back and would rcommend propety to friends, good deal for a rental beach house but not as sparkling as one might suppose from the pictures.
Owner's Response: This renter requested an early arrival, which interfered with the schedule of the cleaning service, and opted not to pay a full cleaning fee.
