We should have stayed longer. 4 nights on the esplanade was not long enough! The house is lovely and well appointed. ##### Elizabeth F. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tamara C. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication The communication with the realtor felt like automatic replies. I sent texts and they were answered a day or so after. Two of the beds weren't made when we arrived and we were asked to strip the beds before we left. There were numerous things falling apart or corroded and when I let them know there was no response. The downstairs doors and upstairs windows have extreme corroding that it was hard to shut if you opened so didn't feel completely safe as the doors could be pulled open pretty easily. Disappointing considering how much you pay per night. Positives are the layout is excellent for two families and there were games and books a plenty. Obviously the view was beautiful. ##### Tamara C.
