The view from the porch is very nice but obstructed. The property is very natural. The owner ran a weed Wacker around the house at 9am Fri morning. The owner spent most of the time in the house next door. The outdoor space abuts that house (referred to as her studio), making it uncomfortable in terms of privacy. We used the outdoor space once. It was nice to have a large grill. However, the Adirondack style chairs, around the picnic table, made it impossible to eat outdoors. The stairs from the main floor are extremely narrow, making it difficult to maneuver luggage. The stairs from the house to the street are very steep, very long, and splintered. It's not as close to the beach as it appears and this particular beach is covered in seaweed and it smells. The positive is that it wasn't crowded. We packed up and traveled to and from Race Point, which was beautiful, but not what we wanted to do. Upstairs shower is very small. Bedrooms are tiny and extremely close together. Barely an inch between each door. Only two bedrooms have AC. The unit in one of the bedrooms is loud and only inches from your face. While the kitchen was well stocked, I would bring spices,etc. Only one bath towel per guest. I would not recommend bringing a pet. The house on the right side of the rental is even closer than the owners studio to the left. The renters in that home had dogs that would bark and cause ours to bark. We could also hear their baby crying (not a problem other than the crying also caused our dogs to bark) Although a couple of miles is certainly walkable, there are no sidewalks until you get very close to downtown. We caught the shuttle once. The second time we tried to catch it, we waited 45 minutes (supposed to run approx every 20) and finally loaded up the car and drove. The third and final time we attempted the shuttle, 6 people, with a baby stroller stood by the road and the shuttle flew by us. While the place is eclectic and has New England charm, based on the cost, for the week, along with the additional charges, it was not what we expected.
