Quirky, but quaint beach cottage
Communication & check-in with Tena was stellar. House is an old, quirky beach cottage. It’s had a few add-ons over the years with craftsmanship that’s not the greatest. But all of it functional. There is a mishmash of furniture throughout, some of which is super old. There’s broken furniture left on the front porch and back deck, and old patio tables thrown out by the a/c’s. “Master” downstairs has a bulky, heavy king bed which takes up the entire room. The 2nd floor ceilings are so low, no one over 6’. Kitchen was fine. Nothing to wipe down counters and no steak knives. I picked this property for the fenced yard. My dogs loved it. But again, the fencing was mishmashed with some spots having a variety of objects - garden trellis pieces, edgers and an oven shelf - trying to keep it sealed off. It’s sad to see the gardens have not been maintained. It could be really pretty out there. The night before we left, the upstairs a/c stopped working. It was too late to contact anyone, so my son just slept on the downstairs couch. When I checked the a/c units outside in the morning, I was shocked the owners didn’t have them replaced before the summer season. Very, very old and rusted throughout. I’m from Bermuda. I get what salt air does to a house. And I suspect this house is a work in progress for the owners who’ve only had it a couple of years. But they have “cheaped out” on what could be a really nice beach house especially for the price and in comparison with others.
