8/10 Good
"Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The house was spacious and quite comfortable (although I wish it had a coffee table!). The beach toys were a huge hit with our kids, the walking distance to a splash pad and playground was a pleasant surprise. It's located right on the main road, so quick & easy access to everywhere we wanted to go.The listing failed to mention that there is a massive industrial complex (one of North America's largest cement-producing facilities, as it turns out!) just a few hundred yards down the beach. Having that constantly in the background really took away from the peaceful and picturesque beach vacation I was expecting. The house also has a musty smell, which made me wonder about mold/mildew. I wish a few more details in the house had been more closely tended to - the grill had no propane, the shower curtain should've been replaced a long time ago, we found the dryer stuffed with wet towels.Jennie was very responsive to messages but I didn't want to spend my vacation managing requests so we just focused on the positives during our stay."
