Convenient- just 10 minutes away from groceries, restaurants, and shopping, with an ice cream shop and a charming farm stand featuring alpacas only 5 minutes away. Being situated on the river rather than the bay or ocean means a muddy shore instead of a rocky coastline and tide pools. There's limited shade outdoors with no umbrella or awning, so it's either full sun or indoors for relief.
The house itself is excellent! The teenagers enjoyed their own space upstairs, and we had a spacious master suite on the ground floor. Efficient heat pumps kept us comfortable regardless of the weather. The beds were cozy, and we appreciated the open floor plan, small eat-in kitchen, composite decking, and functional laundry facilities. The backyard lawn was pleasant, and access to the water via stairs was convenient. The neighborhood was quiet, friendly, and perfect for walks. The property manager was exceptionally communicative, prompt, and friendly.
However, there were a few issues. We found out after booking that we couldn't boil lobsters or use a large pasta pot. While we could use leftover fuel, the property didn't provide charcoal or propane, which felt less generous than other rentals we've tried. Minor inconveniences included no overhead lights in the dining room and an old, small TV without streaming capabilities (wasn't a big deal for us).
Due to vegetation, the water view is limited unless you move to the side of the property or use the stairs. Overall very nice and suitable 4fam
