Strand Lodge is an ideal location. It is well situated with beautiful seaside views and access to beach areas. The site is lovely and offers off street parking, easy access and plenty of yard and patio areas for protected and safe play if you bring children. The property could benefit from a picnic table and barbecue and other outside seating which is not offered or available. The site is so lovely that you will want to enjoy being outside. Terrific location and beautiful grounds . Inside is large and offers plenty of bedroom areas for small or large families and groups. The kitchen while expansive and capable could stand some freshening to bring the standards higher. There is a lovely old Stanley cooler stove in the kitchen that is a beautiful focal point and lends to the historical aspect of another time. The living parlor area does not offer the ability to have an open fire either in its existing fireplace or via a contained wood stove. The ability and ambiance of a solid burner option would be a huge plus for the property. There is a fine television with satellite or cable and plenty of viewing options. There is a suitable laundry and mud room in the back area of the house. We felt safe in the property, and it abuts other houses that are nice. Great spot for your vacation or holiday.
