A very good property. Accurate as described. Convenient to Essex. Served the purpose for a group of 8.

nice kitchen, need more silver wear.

We enjoyed our stay. The house could use a little TLC on the inside (furniture dated and stairway going upstairs needs work) and outside (lawn mowing and landscaping). But the gem of the property was the pool. We used it every day (often multiple times the same day.) We will definitely consider returning to the property next year.

Pros: The owner very responsive and understanding. He quickly purchased a few items that were missing (vacuum, pot holders, working trash can). The pool is spacious, hot tub was clean and comfortable and there were plenty of clean towels for everyone. There was a great outdoor space with lots of room for kids to run and the fire pit was a nice feature. Lastly, we cooked every night and the kitchen tools we needed were all there. Cons: The house does fit 11 people but it's tight. The fridge was missing some shelves on the doors which made it hard to fit everything. It was also hard to fit food in the kitchen with the limited cabinet space so we kept everything on the server/bureau in the dining room. There was only one TV in the house and very slow internet. Some areas of the house are a bit run down (downstairs bathroom very outdated/not super functional, electrical/outlet issues twice, couches and pillows worn out and torn, garage game room not clean) and there were mouse droppings in many of the kitchen drawers.
