This home checked all the boxes to make the trip stress-free. It was clean, kitchen was well stocked with coffee, tea, spices, and miraculously, various ingredients that we forgot to pack. Check in was easy and the owner (or property manager?) was very responsive to questions. Not a crazy list of check-out tasks either.
This place had lots of space to all gather around together, and various spaces if different groups wanted to do separate activities.
The only real issue was that the listing mentioned there were two kayaks and said it was “just steps from kayaking, paddle boarding or hiking along the Sound,” but it turns out it was not in walking distance to water access, at least definitely not while carrying the kayaks, so we would have needed a truck or roof rack to get the kayaks down to the water.
The cold water in the master bedroom bathtub did not work, so it was too scalding to be used. But not a huge deal since there was a hot tub and we could shower in the other bathroom.
