We stayed from Monday to Friday, it was extremely hot(90’s plus) every day. There were window ac units, and all of them were saying to clean the filter. Being by the ocean, I expected flies. The back decks, upper and lower, were in mild disrepair. It really just needs some love! I arrived looking for the picture of the horseshoe crab, but it was Very faded. That said, I would still go back.

Not exactly what we were expecting. It’s a bit older, cluttered, outdated and in need of a facelift. The owner could be more up front about linen usage and expectations. But overall, it worked for our needs.

Our first impression was fly traps everywhere. A fly trap on the coffee table covered in flies. We tried to move past that though. Then there were the stained yellow pillows. We still tried to move past that. It is a bad time (late May/early June) to be in this area due to the horseshoe crabs and flies. We loved learning about the crabs and getting to see them. But the beach was covered in their eggs and dead bodies. We continued to have a good time regardless. But it was pretty stressful having to swat flies inside the home the entire time. The final disappointment was that in the photos there appears to be a jacuzzi tub. It was not in working order as far as we could tell.

Quiet, cozy house right on the beach. We were hoping to see some horseshoe crabs and were not disappointed. No exaggeration that we saw more crabs than people. The views from the upper deck of the house were spectacular.

We were torn between spending time in/near the house and the nearby wildlife refuge. The house is filled with light and art and has a ramp to the beach. The refuge is a spectacular location for bird watching. Both the house and the refuge are quite accessible. The main floor of the house can be reached by ramp and has a bedroom, kitchen, social space, and convenient bathroom. The rest of the bedrooms are up a spiral stair, so I stayed on the mail level. Several of the trails in the refuge are accessible and quite beautiful! To summarize: a beautiful house on top of a dune overlooking the bay, accessible and dog friendly, near an accessible and dog friendly refuge. We'll be back!
