The place is beautiful and most of the rooms are quite large. There were enough bathrooms and bedrooms for us each to have our own and their kitchen was equipped with everything including an array of spices. The host was quick to respond and very accommodating.

Good times enjoyed by all

I think the most amazing thing was the communication with the owner. He was generous in some of the extras he provided and responsive when we contacted him.Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Drove into Burlington a few times. Found the local restaurants and shops. Went to some of the beaches. And relaxed around the house.We got used to the layout of the house and everything worked out just fine.

It was a wonderful rental for a reunion of old friends. The layout is a little. The layout of the house is a little wonky with the master bedroom, being the adjoining hallway between the larger part of the house with two bedrooms and one bath and the smaller part of the house with two bedrooms and two baths. The master Room had a bathroom with a tub and no toilet and a separate bathroom. All three parts of the house had separate entrances. The kitchen was adequately provided with a few essentials missing. The owner did go out of his way to make sure we had brand new coffee pots in each Area. Cannot say enough about the outreach from the owner when we sent him questions. The view could not have been more spectacular and the large lawn was available for hanging out or playing.

The view is absolutely beautiful!!! Just gorgeous!!!The house is set up a little odd but I knew that from other reviews and the picture of the layout (which is very hard to make out online). The kitchen was not well stocked for cooking at all. And I’m not sure the person they are using to clean is doing their job completely. There seemed to be some missed areas and the grill was super dirty. One grill did not work at all. The host was so nice and kind. My husband spoke to him once and I spoke to him once as well. I would definitely stay there again if I’m ever in that area.
