Sam is an excellent host! Communication was great! It was easy to check in and out. The house inside was really clean. All essentials are provided for you to use such as bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths, beach towels for the hot tub, hand soap, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, dish soap, and laundry detergent, too! The air conditioner works beautifully, although it wasn’t much needed, especially in the cool mornings and evenings when the breeze comes in through open windows. The house is gorgeous and the light that comes in through the windows adds to the beauty of this historical house.
The bedrooms are nicely sized and there are 2/3 bedrooms that have dressers to store your clothes, nearly all have closets as well. It was perfect for our family of 5! The beds are quite firm, they took some getting used to, but it’s understandable for durability. We enjoyed having family dinners around the big, beautiful dining table which is large enough to easily seat 8 people. The living room is big and although we couldn’t all fit on the couch, there was plenty of room for us to sit around on the floor and cushions were provided for that purpose. We traveled with a 6 month old who is crawling around all over! One note of caution I have for anyone traveling with babies or small children is that the living room rug, which seemed to be made from straw or something similar, releases fibers which get all over anything that touches it — your clothes, blankets, hands, etc. Just a word of caution for anyone allergic.
Outside, the backyard is amazing and lush! We enjoyed the hot tub, which was super clean yet not overly chlorinated. It was difficult to honor the 9pm curfew for enjoying the backyard — we wish that was moved back to 10pm, but we understand. The BBQ was great and when we were getting low on propane, we simply messaged and another tank was provided quickly! The other outside amenities, however, such as tables and chairs had not been cleaned in a long while. There were spider webs and live spiders in nooks and crannies, making it difficult to enjoy sitting around the fire pit or on the patio. We tried to clean as much as we could but they were everywhere.
Overall this was one of the best properties we have enjoyed and we would love to stay here again! Thank you Sam and your crew for a lovely vacation!
