Thanksgiving in Essex
SOOO Spacious!! Tons of open space - which we really enjoyed. SO many light switches. We did not find a book with instructions for the house. There were some lights that we were not able to turn off for some reason.
Firm beds; HEAVY comforters - need a few lighter blankets in closets as options.
GREAT kitchen to cook in! On the whole a well supplied kitchen. Not enough silverware though. Need more than 2 kitchen towels and 2 small hot polders; need a pair of scissors for the kitchen. I would recommend some serving spoons as well as.
Dining table held all of us comfortably (which is hard to find in rentals - great asseet!)
HUGE deck and back yard which was utilized by the young child.
We took walks into town and then found a few hiking areas to walk as well.
Overall, very pleased with our Thanksgiving weekend at this location.

Amazing property
This property was phenomenal for our large family with 4 private bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The kitchen and dining room are large and very functional. While we didn't use the background there is a ton of space. Our favorite space was the large living room where we enjoyed several football games on a very large tv. I highly recommend this property.

Lovely Home in Essex
This was a great rental. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, lots of communal space five minute walk from Woodmans. The house provided linens as well as beach towels. We used the fire pit to roast marshmallows and the high top fire table on the porch to hang out together. We loved the gym and pool table too. Extremely responsive and helpful communication with management for any question. We would absolutely rent here again.

The house is extremely large and was pretty much like the description says. We did have a hard time getting over the musty smell downstairs and the primary toilet is loud when flushed. But the house was clean and the renovated bathrooms are very nice. The deck is amazing and a great space to gather. The best part, comfortable beds!
