Wonderful house!

The house was great for our Thanksgiving dinner. Everything we needed and lots of space. We enjoyed our stay, although it was too short. A map indicating where to walk to the beach would have been helpful.

Well managed property.

My wife and I enjoyed our week with our four young adult children. The house is well kept but in need of a furnishing makeover. It was hard to gather as a family in any one room. The air conditioning is via a few window units, so some bedrooms are very warm if it’s hot outside. The house is situated 50 feet from busy Washington St, and traffic noise is constant. But the house is also situated on a large property that allows access to the water and some beautiful views via a short walk. The house has character.
