My family enjoyed our vacation here. The beach house is located about 15 minutes out of town down quiet, country roads (paved, although there are dirt roads nearby). The house is equipped with everything we needed for our week long stay. The water cannot be seen from the house, but a short trail leads you to a bridge where the beach can be seen. The two houses that adjoin the property had friendly people staying in them as well, although we rarely saw them, except at beach occasionally.
A few tips:
-there's woodchips on the path to get to the bridge which hurt to walk with barefeet
-There's 80+ stairs (according to one of my kids), consisting of wood and metal stairs.
-The water pressure is the shower is meh. Much of the water comes out the faucet and not the shower head when shower is turned on.
-The grill is charcoal, not propane, alike the information given to us stated. We did have some charcoal there to start, but had to replenish.
-Check the windows!!! All the windows were unlocked, as is a requirement upon leaving to leave open. The cleaning staff closes them, but doesn't lock them!
-The kitchen is fully equipped with many extras (food storage containers, hot pads, few spices, serving platters, etc)
-Beach was nice and sandy when we visited (end of July 2021). No need for water shoes (no rocks!).
We had a great time and would stay again if we ever decided to come back to Montague!
