We recently stayed at this house for a three generation family retreat. The house itself is quite unique and beautiful; it appears to be a former Bed and Breakfast, with 4 bedrooms conveniently laid out so that each one has a view of the water, with one room with two beds primarily facing the woods (also a lovely view). The first three rooms all overlook the water entirely, with large sliding glass doors to a patio off two bedrooms and a huge picture window with a stunning view on the third. Two rooms at the end can be "closed off" with a door to separate them from the rest of the rooms, which was convenient for guests who had toddlers, so that the kids could stay in an adjacent room and keep it quiet at night.
The rest of the house was equally beautiful, full of tasteful antiques and furniture, and the kitchen has more than enough dishware for all guests.
The large main floor patio was great for eating outside with a gorgeous view of the bay, and the backyard looked like something out of a children's story, complete with mature trees, flower garden, and tons of room for lawn games (we brought bean bag toss!). There is also a trampoline on the side of the house, which we successfully kept the kids from seeing for most of the weekend, but when they did finally notice it, it was thankfully quite safe and well-maintained.
There is an abundance of space in this home for guests, including an exercise space (with some equipment), formal dining room, and many lovely nooks for curling up with a book!
It is a ten minute walk to the beach down a steep hill, or a very quick 1-2 minute drive.
The only downside we had with our stay is that the house has four bedrooms, with 5 full and/or queen beds,, but the extra guest fee is applied after only 4 guests, and the extra guest fee is rather high compared to other rental listings ($40 per person/per day, including infants and toddlers). I recognize the extra cleaning required with more guests, but usually the base rate applies to a guest count closer a bit closer to the sleeping count. That said, it was noted in the invoice and the owner was great about updating the cost when one of our guests had to cancel in advance.
The host/owner was very responsive to questions ahead of time and during our stay.
To sum, we loved our stay here and would quite happily stay again. Would recommend to others who are seeking a well-appointed house for multiple guests, who enjoy a quiet location close to the water.
