I was not expecting this property to be as big or well stocked as it was. The kitchen has absolutely everything needed to cook anything I wanted to. The sleeping accommodations were more than enough for our group, and the bed was more comfortable than my bed at home. The view is beautiful from the sunroom. The walk downtown is less than a half mile. Best part....pet friendly! My trip was so much better since Osprey's Nest allowed me to bring my furry bestie. He even made friends with the feral kitty that kept popping up to say hi. ##### Kary Z.

Not a great view of the water from the house compared to many other houses you could rent, but the little back sunroom does offer a pleasant limited view of the water and has a nice dockside diner vibe... nice spot for coffee and breakfast. The house is spacious and has a great floorplan for 3 pairs of adults. Be aware that the wall dividing the master bedroom from the living room and kitchen area does not extend all the way up to the ceiling, so noise from the kitchen and living room is loud and clear in the master bedroom, and vice versa. Otherwise a great little property. All I wanted was a place that offered accessibility to town and was a comfortable place to stay between going out and about - this place exceeded my expectations. ##### Michael M.

The only problem I see with the property is that the master bathroom has almost no ventilation and the oscillating fan has to run at all times to make it somewhat comfortable in there. ##### Forrest M.
