This is a great house for a large family gathering. While the kids can walk across the street to the beach, the adults can sight see or shop. Ferry to Martha’s Vineyard was less than a mile away.
We did not have as large a group as planned because of the uncertainty of Hurricane Henri - 9 rather than 14. It was probably for the best, however, since having only 3 bathrooms, was not ideal. We knew that going in of course, but did not realize that there was only one bath on second floor where there were 5 bedrooms. And the back bath on first floor was very small and had no space for toiletries. One inaccuracy — one bedroom was listed as having a twin bed plus bunk beds. There was no twin, so house only sleeps 16, not 17, as advertised.
The house was spacious although no room would have been large enough for the whole group comfortably. Same with dining room. A max of 10 could fit at one table and 6 in the sunroom. The house is old but had a lot of character - a lot of wood paneling. Furniture and beds were comfortable. Outdoor furniture could use a good cleaning. Doors either wouldn’t close or stuck when opened! AC worked great but was very loud, especially in upstairs BR. Appliances all worked well. Had both drip and Kuerig coffee makers. Previous tenants left kitchen or laundry supplies, which was helpful. (Some homes I’ve rented discard all opened packages, like detergent, coffee filters, spices and pantry items. )
The property manager was helpful, but did not know the house so needed to contact owner before he could answer anything. House was sold last year but should have had time to become familiar with property.
