Clean! Clean! Clean! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!
If you want total comfort,peace,and quiet;this is the place for you. This Condo definitely has a feng shui feel to it.I have never slept in a more comfortable bed (in a rental) than when we put the two trundles together and topped them with my memory foam.( It goes with me whenever we travel) It made a KING sized bed( keep that in mind for sheet size) . My son and daughter-in- law were thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness of the condo as well as the comfort level of their accommodations. (They took the master bedroom) The view and relaxation from the side deck is incredible on a sunny day, but is just as relaxing and beautiful in the wee hours of the morning when the sun is risng or in the evening as it is setting. If you plan to eat in, the kitchen is very well stocked with anything you need for the occasion. Unfortunately, the lack of a phone was a tremendous inconvenience for us since our particular cell service did not work on the Nubble; and that was a great disappointment because we could not communicate with other family members who were also vacationing in York, nor could we stay connected to my elderly parents back home. Any time we needed to communicate with anyone, we had to get into our vehicle and drive toward town for a signal. We even lost signals from my son's verizon service. Therefore, since connectivity is essential for us, this rental would not work for us in the future. I would not recommend this Condo to anyone who plans on "partying;" as there are strict rules associated with this rental. That worked in our favor because we like peace and quiet that results from strict rules. Also,I would ONLY recommend it to people who plan on treating this place as if it were their own; because, the expectations of this owner is that it remain in its PRISTINE condition from one set of renters to the next. So if you are sloppy, clumsy, loud, or you have an "I don't care attitude" about a rental; do not apply because(unlike most rentals) this one has very specific rules to follow. When/ how to shut the windows properly, how to shower with minimal water seepage,how to open/ close the blinds, where to hang towels,etc. Since it is not a stand alone vacation property, we were concerned about the neighbors, but, as a matter of fact, one came to our rescue and offered her own grill when we could not get ours to work adequately.
Cable TV service is very basic;so rainy days could be boring.Bring DVD's.
Owner's Response: Yes, this rental is everything a renter could dream of as far as cleanliness, peace, quiet, serinity, comfort, amenities and most of all breathtaking panaramic views of the ocean and its surroundings, morning noon and evening. I have just purchased this condo last fall and want everyone to enjoy everything I have to offer. I take great pride in making it as special as I can for renters. I visit the condo every week after it is professionally cleaned to make sure everything works and it is enjoyable for everyone who arrives. Sometimes due to weather or other conditons out of my control during the week I have a maintance service to call if anything is needed by the renter. I sometimes stay and greet the renters. Yes, there are rules to every home to keep it nice for others. I do believe renters work very hard to save to go on vacation to have a nice place to go too. In order for this to happen from renter to renter I ask that they treat the condo as if it were their own property.
As far a cell phone service which is used 95% of the time when renting it would be adviseable to contact your local cell phone service to see what service works in the area. I have Verizon service myself and it works fine and others who have rented have Verizon or ATT and have had no problem. As we all know sometimes with a cell phone you lose service in your home from one room to the other.
Recently I have found that T-Mobile does not have towers close enough for good reception. As far as providing a land line phone I have found that it is not cost effective when renting. I have found that most renters inquire about wireless internet for connection to their friends or workplace. That does not mean if you have a service that does not work that you have to be without service. Their are local cell phone providers in the area that can provide trac phones for the week. As you read some of the advise in this review that this condo may not be suitable for every generation. It is a wonderful getaway for the elders, evening concerts outside in the evening and the Quiquit Playhouse nearby. For a girl's get away, plenty of shopping outlets nearby. Families with small children great beaches, arcades nearby. Couples traveling together for a great get away, plenty of fine restaurants and entertainment nearby. As far as traveling with some teanagers this may not be suitable if they prefer loud or late activities.
Weather can always be a factor and TV is basic Bring DVD's
