Overall pretty disappointing experience in this property and def would not stay again. Booked it because of the location and pet friendly but but clearly no good monitoring of dog poop in the yard (making the yard unusable) and stains on the couch, pet fur on the bedding from previous pets. This property was overpriced for what you get. Small investments in the property to optimize experince could be: having a fridge with a water filter (given the beach water taste to the tap water) and ice maker, curtains or some sort of window dressings and not the cheap plastic blinds that just really make it feel like a low class apartment, better mattresses or memory foam toppers to optimize the existing mattresses, higher quality bedding, removing the rug outside on the concrete patio, adding some sort of outdoor space that is actually usable and appealing to sit in as the existing screened in porch functions more as a mud room rather than a place for lounging. The living space was the only pleasant area of the house to spend time in and the couch was dirty and uncomfortable. Zero sound proofing in the walls so no privacy between bedrooms. Just a cheaply built old house that has been reno'd/furnished with lowest investment to maximize ROI for the owner. Would never recommend or stay again. On a positive note - HosttoCoast provided a really cute welcome tray and bag, high end cleaning supplies for kitchen and laundry which was a nice touch to elevate the experience

This is a great family friendly property that is absolutely worth renting (again). As a family who has rented on the island for several decades now, this house has everything you might need. From a fully stocked kitchen, to linens, and towels, our family was set for a wonderful week. We too, had the fortune of meeting the property owner during our visit, who was wonderful and offered her personal assistance should we ever need it. From a how can we make this place any better standpoint? My one suggestion would the furniture. The main living room was a bit tight for our family and the sun room table/chairs were not overly comfortable. We wanted to sit out in the room, as the evenings were so lovely, but found the furniture to be more along the lines of patio furniture rather than furniture that is conducive to a sunroom/relaxing. That said, though, I know how nitpicky this sounds. Which leads me to say, I/we would absolutely rent this place again and look forward to the forthcoming updates to the property in the year ahead!
