Much smaller than the pics make it look, but still did the trick for a fun weekend in seaside.
Overall my group had a great time, Rob is a very kind, reasonable, and responsive host, and the house came largely without any issues.
The photos in this listing are probably the most effective use of wide-lens photography I've ever seen, and they make every space in this house look much larger than it actually is. We are not big people by any means, and I would say that 6 of us filled the place comfortably. Also, the living room is garden level so it doesn't get a ton of natural light, making it not a great spot to hang during the day. However, the front porch was a great place to hang out.
Rob listened to feedback from previous guests and provided good towels. Porch chairs are a tad flimsy but we weren't worried about them breaking. Still, Rob seems dedicated to improving the chairs, adding some backyard furniture, and making the place better in the future.
House was clean and had all the amenities described, except that the wi-fi was giving us <1mbps speeds, so it was basically unusable.
To Rob's credit, when I mentioned this, he promptly got on the phone with me and Verizon to try to fix the issue. However, Verizon couldn't help, Rob was out of state and the maintenance person listed on the welcome sheet was unresponsive, so we remained without wi-fi for the trip.
After the trip, Rob was apologetic and understanding, and we were able to agree on what I think was a fair a partial refund for the inconvenience.
Overall, I would stay again!
