The location of this home was excellent and made for a great beach vacation. We appreciated the updated kitchen, the nicely renovated bathroom, the spacious deck, and the sunroom, which provided a nice additional gathering space.Unfortunately, our stay was impacted by several maintenance concerns. The biggest issue was a smoke detector that malfunctioned for the first three days of our stay, repeatedly beeping and announcing "low battery" every two minutes. We also encountered other upkeep concerns, including door locks that needed attention and a damp basement area with a strong musty odor.The host did offer the option to end our stay and receive a refund while smoke detector repairs were being arranged. However, because it was peak season and we were unable to find comparable accommodations for our family on short notice, we chose to remain. We hoped for a reasonable resolution afterward, but ultimately felt our concerns were not adequately addressed.The home has many appealing features, but maintenance issues significantly impacted our overall experience.
