The GOOD- 4 bathrooms, all bedrooms have ensuites, water pressure/temperature awesome. Location convenient to grocery store, short drive to beaches.
The BAD- Kitchen ill stocked- 5 small plates, 2 dinner plates, 2 bowls. Drinking glasses included a couple of mason jars and a solo cup. There were ants ALL OVER the kitchen. I reported the issue, suggested a good ant bait and the owner did come over the second day and provide that bait and the ants were reduced 2 days. Pictures show 4 barstools only 3 and 1 was broken. Couches are torn/dirty. Internet out the entire stay, host tried to say that there was a recent electrical storm, however a laminated instruction manual for internet troubleshooting advised guests to call the internet company directly before messaging host. Beds uncomfortable, towels did not include hand towels and were ratty, walls had lots of holes. No way this property is professionally cleaned- visible dirt/mold around AC vents, grease staining on kitchen ceiling, dirt/cobwebs in corners, house was musty smelling, all of the pillows and mattress covers are stained.
The DANGEROUS- upstairs banisters extremely loose, exposed nails on dock/disrepair, fire detector by kitchen inoperable, cut foot on edge of cracked floor tiles. I let the host know about the internet and ants, the other issues were so numerous and obvious I did not bother even mentioning.

It was a quiet and peaceful experience. My family enjoyed it immensely.

Nice home with lots of room. The kitchen was well equipped. It was nice having an extra living room area for the kids. Everyone had their own bedroom. The kids enjoyed fishing from the private beach area. The neighborhood was quite. We spent time at the Ocean View beach which is a mile from the house. We greatly enjoyed it & it wasn't crowded at all. Overall me & my family will definitely be back to the area again in the near future!

The property was spacious and accommodating for our family. We were disappointed with some of the repairs that are needed. My adult son stepped on a loose board on the dock and almost fell in the water. Several tiles on the floor were damaged. The downstairs bathroom door had a cracked in it. The rails on the upstairs porch are loose in some areas. The sliding screen doors downstairs were not functioning properly. In addition, there was a ant problem and I saw mice on at least 3 different occasions. I did contact the owner regarding the issue with pests and they offered to come and bring traps to put down for the mice but did not respond regarding the ant issue. Due to the pest issue and maintenance that was not completed on the property, we will not book this property again.

The house is great overall. There were a few small things that we noticed needed repair like the toilet paper holder in the bathroom downstairs. There are a lot of doors in this house so if you have smaller children that are able to open doors it could be an issue. We loved having the water right out back and the bedrooms were huge. The best plus is each bedroom has a bath. That was probably my favorite part. This was a great house for what we needed for the weekend.

Quiet
It was a quiet area. Not exactly beach front access. The house was large.

Overall is ok. The kitchen counter is too high to access. Don’t feel it is waterfront house since the water is a little bit far away.

Decent location. Good for a short trip. Property could use some updating and maintenance. When arrived smoke alarms were beeping. Contacted to request fix did not hear back until next morning. Very disappointed. Had to remove batteries from 2 smoke alarms ourselves. Finally came to fix around 2:30.

The place was pretty. As soon as we opened the door, the place smelled so badly of smoke. It stated no smoking so thought it would be smoke free, it was so bad, we had to opened doors and windows for an few hours. Nephrew was hightly allergic and had a reaction. Was for a place for 10 people but only had 4 sets of place, the things that were broken, like.. dish washer, stove handles. The towels were damp, there were no laundry machine. The table had a note that said, more people extra$, check out 10 min later than scheduled then more $, everything was extra $$$The place was so loud from the highways.Not worth the price

This home was really great. Came with my family and my sister’s family, we both have kids 12 and under. The Willoughby Spit area was charming. There’s beach on both sides of the tiny strip of land. The waves were calm/nonexistent, and the water was warm and shallow very far out so that made it super kid friendly, especially on the “ocean” side. On the Willoughby Bay side (including the private beach of the house), there is debris in the water. The highway bridge is not far, plus there are tons of little piers covered with barnacles. Playing with the kids in the water, we found pieces of broken tail light, bits of metal, concrete, and lots of sharp broken shell. Not like every moment, but enough that it was noticeable. Almost every kid (and a couple adults) cut their feet while playing in the water of the private beach. So, that being said, WEAR WATER SHOES OR SANDALS EVERY TIME YOU GO ON THE LITTLE BEACH. No exceptions. Seriously. A couple of the big kids said “I can tread water, I’m fine” but they also got cut. I also advise against kids climbing the rocks on the beach because they are sharp. Now, that being said, the private beach was cute and bigger than I expected and a great perk. It’s wonderful to have water out the window and it was still enjoyable to swim in—with foot protection. Also, there are tons of tiny adorable crabs on the private beach that the kids ADORED catching, that was super fun. The house had comfy beds and a big, picturesque wraparound porch with lots of shade. The wifi was fast and made it easy to work remotely part of the time. We also appreciated the 4 full bathrooms (so easy to get everyone cleaned off) and the smart TVs. The kitchen was easy to use, though there is not a big dining table so we leaned toward finger foods. We had a really lovely stay and it was a perfect place in this covid 19 time. Definitely recommend.

Social distance getaway
Our family didn’t want our daughter to miss out on a graduation getaway because of the times and she did not have to. We were extremely happy with this house and plan on returning for a longer stay in the future. The home was perfect for a family getaway where you could enjoy yourselves without being in a big crowd. It’s walking to distance to beach access or you can drive to the oceanview pier area. Even at the home you have your own private sandy area and swim area so the little kids who couldn’t get enough never have to stop playing. I highly recommend this home!
