This was a last minute booking and we didn’t know what to expect. Karin was extremely quick with her responses and let us know ahead of time that the door was unlocked and the house rules and code would be inside. She let us know how many cars we could fit and where to park. Once we arrived, the apartment was even better than expected. The AC was already on so we stepped into a cool, extremely clean, nicely decorated apartment with all of the amenities we could ask for. They left a packet on the counter with the house rules (quiet time by 12 which is awesome), WiFi, tips on how to use the grill, and the passcode with exactly how to lock and unlock the apartment. What was so perfect was they also left a whole packet of the best beaches from closest to farthest, even mentioning which had better parking and surf. They left a packet with the nearby restaurants and price ranges too! On the counter top, there was a coffee maker with coffee & filters which is so important. There was even ice in the fridge! We were stunned at how peaceful and beautiful the deck was when we stepped out onto it. Flowers hung everywhere, birds fluttered around and the deck seats were very comfortable. The deck includes a light for night time and even better — a propane fire pit table! We used this every night. Back inside, the beds were very comfortable and myself and three other friends were able to comfortable stay here for 3 nights. I slept in the bedroom with one friend. One of my friends slept on the pull out hideaway bed while the other slept on the day bed. I loved how in the bedroom there was a small table and chair for me to do my makeup, and the ceiling fan was a plus. Loved having a washer & dryer for our beach clothes. TV had Netflix so we watched a movie one night. The bathroom was also very clean as well as the shower. What was very helpful was that they marked on the shower where to turn the dial for the best temperature without burning yourself. Now about the area— it is about a 2 minute drive from a liquor store, multiple supermarkets and Starbucks. A little farther down the road and there’s a Dunkin, restaurants and gas stations. It’s about a 10 min drive to Scarborough beach which was our absolute favorite, a 20 minute drive from charlestownn which is whwre we went to the Nordic lodge and very close to many other restaurants as well. It’s in a cute, beachy town with limited tourists. We met and chatted with Karin and Dan who were both very kind to us, awesome people truly, and they also gave us our space and weren’t intrusive. Parking was actually great, we fit three cars. We had an incredible stay, I would give this a little 10/10 and would definitely come back!!
