We’ve been renting this particular house for a number of years and we always enjoy it. We have 4 families that come here every year. We love the private beach, the accessibility to the beach and the house. Even it’s not the most modern house but it serves are needs. We bring our own food and cook or we go out. Stores are near by and we can walk or jog by the beach. 

Great dining & livingroom areas!  A couple bedrooms had issues with ants.  Appreciate the extra bath towels since this unit does not have washer/dryer access. 

Awesome views, weather, family and friends.

Parking was a big plus, frustrated to find there was no washer/dryer (nice to have if you’re staying a full week as required). Cheshire Realty made it right by dropping off fresh towels for us though. A new fridge is needed desperately!!!!! It’s literally being held together by duct tape. Even had to use our own to secure the shelving within the door and when the fridge closes, the freezer pops open and visa-versa. The ice trays were fine but having an automatic ice maker would have been nice. The large sectional was very comfortable. Also, it would be an added plus IF the room w/the trundle had a second bed underneath and if there was a door on that room instead of a curtain for privacy. 

I hate to give a good review because I don’t want other people to come and use our place. We’ve been doing here for about 50 years and rent a house for a week. We’ve seen many changes in houses and the beach but obviously love the house, the location, the beach and  Cheshire realty. We did have red tide for about 3 days but when it left we had seals, birds and dolphins. Love the private section we stay it. Less crowds and the neighbors are usually friendly.
