My husband, 4 year old and 1 year old had a great vacation! We rented this home and it was one of the most affordable ones walkable to the beach. For the price, even though there were some cons, we had a great time and I would recommend the home! We also loved coast guard house, our favorite restaurant we tried and highly recommend (plus Gansett wraps for take out was great)!
There were a few pros and cons, but overall still a great home very close to the beach for a great price.
Pros:
-Very close to beach. About a 3-4 minute walk from the house to a path on the beach (Scarborough state beach was further down but we didn’t mins the path to the beach closest to us: there was more red seaweed there at that end of beach though just fyi)
-Cute home with plenty of amenities such as toaster, microwave, coffee machine, grill, can opener, mini blender, wine opener, Tupperware, plenty of plates/cups/bowls/utensils, washer/dryer, deck with lounge chairs, and board games were a huge bonus and hit with our kids, so overall very easy to live for the week with a fully stocked home
-Linens and bath towels provided
-Outdoor shower that my 4 year old loved and showered in everyday!
-Cute beach decor
Cons
-Most of the furniture was not comfortable. Out master bed was very loud every time we turned over and not comfortable. The couch in living room was also not comfortable. Our daughters bunk bed shook every time she climbed it which made us nervous.
-The creaky stairs downstairs to the bathroom during the nights were tough, wish there was a 2nd bathroom upstairs but we survived for the week
-Tiny downstairs bathroom, we made do doe the week but be prepared for tight quarters. Bathroom was very nicely updated though!
-Wish they provided beach chairs/umbrella as we did have to pack a lot for the beach.
-Tiny outdated kitchen but again, doable for a week vacation
-2 cars parked infront of garage during our last night. We just didn’t know who it was and wish the owners gave us a heads up about this just so we knew. We wouldn’t have minded, just would’ve appreciated a heads up.
Thank you for a great family vacation home!
