The house was great overall and very comfortable. There was plenty of room for our group of 3 adults and 2 kids.The biggest issue was the temperature on the main floor. There is only one mini split A/C unit for the entire first floor. So the kitchen, living room, and dining area never really cooled down. No exaggeration it was SO HOT! Even in June, we opened the windows to try to let some ‘cooler’ air in.Another issue was the lack of curtains or blinds. Not a single window had light blocking treatments. The house gets EXTREMELY bright first thing in the morning. Everyone was waking up at the crack of dawn because there was nothing to block the light. I would highly suggest adding curtains, at least in the bedrooms, along with another A/C solution for the main living area.I also noticed older reviews mentioning these same concerns, so it seems they have been ongoing. Addressing them would make an otherwise great property even better.Frank, was extremely responsive and attentive to our questions. He resolved a leaky A/C unit right away. I would recommended this property and stay again if the above noted issues are resolved. Thanks Frank!

Wonderful peaceful property. We had a lovely time. Loved the outside shower and bird life. The windows are amazing and offer excellent views.

Views, views and more views! If this is what you look for in a vacation, this is your spot! Updated, spacious and easy to use kitchen, ample dining and communal space plus comfortable bedrooms, and a/c make this a real winner. Constant ocean breezes and sea birds - our indoor cats were beyond themselves with all the windows. For privacy would have liked a curtain on the picture window in the main space and in the master bedroom's main windows (would also save on energy costs on bright sunny days). We liked the diversity at Smith Point beach (not as vanilla as the Hamptons) and the fact this area feels very local (not full of only summer vacationers). Note that there are fewer restaurants nearby (when compared to other vacation locales). The area is somewhat in transition (many vacancies on the main neighborhood drag) but major investment is planned in the near future. We felt comfortable and secure in the home, surrounded by year round residents. Would love to stay again and definitely recommend!

This home is lovely, spacious, and has amazing views from everywhere! We loved waking up to the wonderful bay breeze and seeing all the birds and wildlife. The house has wonderful open areas for cooking, dining, and hanging out. The bedrooms are comfortable and roomy, and the outside deck and grill area are perfect. Smith Point beach is a great beach for walking and swimming -- it's close by and easy to get to. Our host was easy to reach and available for any questions. We are going back again in August and cannot wait! We recommend this home to anyone who wants a quiet, spacious getaway.
