Beautiful house, accommodating hosts
This house is stunning and fully stocked - we were pleasantly surprised by how well equipped the kitchen was. Our family of six (and 2 dogs) spent Christmas here and had a lovely stay.Pat and Jon are wonderful hosts - very responsive with any issues. All of the bikes had flat tires and we couldn’t get them full with the band pump; Jon came over with a heavy duty pump and got them all in riding shape. They also responded quickly with any questions. Only two things keep this from a 10/10 review. First, we had issues with the spa and pool. It was chilly that week and we didn’t expect to be able to really swim but we really enjoyed the spa - when it worked, it worked great. Unfortunately, it didn’t work all the time - a few times we turned it on to heat up and returned later ready to relax only to find it hadn’t heated. Jon quickly came out to resolve the issue but it happened again later in the week. Second, we thought the beach and park were much closer - one review say the park was “1 minute away” but understand that is driving, not walking. The park border is 100 yards from the house but the entrance is 1.2 miles away. The beach is about .5 miles. Both are definitely walkable but along a fairly busy road.
