House is very quirky, with lots of different levels (and grab bars to make the up and down steps a lot easier). Beds are super comfortable, as is all the furniture in the house. Owner was extremely easy to work with. Neighborhood is fantastic. Beautiful park a block away, deli and convenience store down the street, and friendly, quiet neighbors. Highly recommend! ##### Lynne R.

The house is comfortable, quiet, well-cared for, and well-stocked. The location is peaceful and just two blocks to the beach. The beach is lovely and you can easily walk for miles if you like that kind of thing. There is a convenience store right around the block and a nice community park just beyond the convenience store. The grocery store is just 4 miles away. The neighbors are friendly and the street is quiet as it is a deadline, so the only traffic up and down the street are the residents. The owners are wonderful to work with. They were thoughtful, responsive, and kind. The is one of the best rental experiences I have ever had - HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ##### Melissa D. Stayed 30 nights in Jan 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine E. 1 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Trip House was very clean and on a delightfully quiet street with lovely neighbors. Kitchen tools and supplies were plentiful, including spices, cleaning and laundry supplies, cleaning equipment. Screened in porch was great place to have a cup of tea and read. Communication with manager was great. He usually responded within hours. Bed was comfortable and home was nicely spread out. Nice surprise was the desk and printer which made telecommuting so much easier! Only word of caution is that the addition to the house (master bedroom, family room, and laundry area) is a step down. However, it would be possible for someone with mobility issues to live on one level and handrails were included by all places requiring a step. ##### Katherine E. Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2023 ---
