We rented the house for a full 2 weeks and had 9 people (4 older adults - the parents, 5 younger twenty somthings - the kids) and a lab in residence. The house was comfortable and spacious, with room for separate gatherings within our party (older adults in the family room, younger adults in the living room and basement). The location was superb. Generally quiet street (though a lot of nearby construction) with easy access (walking) to the beach, other ocean vistas and the port. It's really 4..5 or 4.6 overall rating, and with the remedy of certain very minor issues, this house would be a solid 5 star property. Conspicuously absent was an instruction manual for house systems (A/C, TV, other appliances, etc.). The kitchen faucet is touch controlled, but the control system is battery operated (and needless to say the batteries and the faucet died). A heads up on that issue would have made the scurried diagnosis a lot easier. Polyester sheets (everyone was waking up in the middle of the night covered in sweat, regardless of room temp) could be easily replaced with affordable (Amazon Basics) cotton sheets. Lighting in the kitchen is very dim (with no effective lighting over the island) making food prep after dusk very difficult. Lastly, the property needs weeding, the lack of significant gardening detracts from the overall aura of sophistication. Picky comments, yes, but constructive. This is a great property and with a couple of minor tweaks, it would be absolutely "killer". I'd recommend it highly to friends and family and we'd gladly return for another family vacation.
