As a large diverse family from CA & MA, we found the house & location nearly perfect. It’s just a (wobbly) staircase up from the beach. The proximity to the beach made it easy for kids to play & for adults to relax. The house is spacious, with plenty of beds to accommodate us. The beach chairs & toys in basement were great. The basement was cluttered & we had to move items to access chairs & life vests. We left it neater than we found. There were maintenance issues. Broken kitchen cabinet door. Screens in all the retractable screen doors were ripped. The hard-wired smoke alarm system failed, causing them to go off non-stop. Following the owners instructions we disabled them for the rest of our stay, which felt unsafe. The neighborhood is mostly white, and as a diverse group, we occasionally felt unwelcome & watched. This detracted from our sense of comfort. After checkout, the owners stated we violated checkout instructions. There was no manual, just a paper on the fridge noting trash day is Friday. We did everything we thought we should; we forgot to empty bathroom trash. Someone got ketchup on the white rug under the dining table & we couldn't get it out. We said we’d pay a fee for this but were charged $550; seems outrageous. We were shocked due to us overlooking the maintenance issues. Given the maintenance, neighborhood dynamics, & excessive fee, we won’t return. For those who prioritize proximity to the beach, it's an option. Diverse families might consider elsewhere.

This house is huge...we had a family of 8 and didn't even use the upper floor. We had one small issue and the host responded immediately. The house was stocked with many items, and we didn't really need anything other than our food. We used the outdoor firepit and the views were great. Neighborhood is very quiet and seemed like many families around. Internet and cell coverage was good. Definitely recommend this house and host.

The pictures don't do it justice. We had 10 in our group and there was room for everyone to spread out plus extra. Well appointed. Very central located to sight seeing. The children all loved the beach and looking for sea glass. It was a beautiful place to stay. Thank you.

The house was perfect for our family of 14. The grandchildren loved the beach, picking up shells and playing on the rocks. It was a perfect place to make precious memories!

This property is ideal for large groups that include children. a dorm layout on the third floor, double bedrooms on the second floor were ideal. Balconies, patio, proximity to the beach were fabulous. The owners stayed in touch throughout our stay. Overall an A+ home.

Family wedding

What an incredible house and property. The house was everything they advertised and more. The waterfront property was to die for (but don’t do that -simply enjoy it). There was absolutely nothing wrong with this house. Well stocked and we’ll appointed. If we were to make any recommendations, they would be the following: 1. Recommend having directions for adjusting the A/C temperature. We couldn’t get the remote to work. 2. Recommend blackout shades in the bedrooms in the back of the house. The sunrise is so beautiful but incredibly bright at 0500. 😄 But please, these are not complaints but simply recommendations. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend the property to friends!

Wonderful property on the water. It was cold in November but we still loved the beautiful views. Close enough to travel to Boston and Salem. We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at the Pautuxet Museum. The home was large enough to put the kids upstairs and still enjoy some quiet. Would love to go back in the summer.
