Beautiful home in a picturesque town
The house is beautiful, even better than the pictures. So much charm and character. Very well renovated with an eye to keeping the integrity of the original architecture. The location is ideal, close to town, restaurants, shopping, the beach, parks, everything. The rooms are nice, the beds themselves comfortable. The porch and decorations are fabulous. Loved sitting rocking on the porch watching people stroll by. Easy walking distance to The Washington Inn - best Espresso Martini I’ve ever had.
A few things need improvement, though overall they are small in comparison to the house itself, but unless someone notes it, it won’t get any better for the next renters, right?
1) You have to rent sheets and linens. Some kind of hotel tax law thing. It wouldn’t be a big deal if the sheets that the rentals agency provides would actually fit the bed and didn’t sound and feel like paper bags. Constantly having the sheets pulling off the corners on multiple beds was annoying and uncomfortable. So, my suggestion is don’t rent the sheets from Homestead.
The toaster doesn’t work. The springs are gone and the toast has to be dug or shaken out, and is typically half burnt and half uncooked.
The cleaners leave something to be desired. The house was surface clean and the bathrooms were cleaned well. However, the
Dishwasher was full of dishes when we arrived. Also, it didn’t appear that anyone had really cleaned the wood floors in a few weeks.
