This was a pretty nice property. The home itself is charming. Unfortunately, the outside does not resemble the picture. For example, the picket fence is no longer a nice shade of stained brown and the porch could use refreshing. This however, is not a deal beaker.
The street this property is on is very dark at night. While the area may be safe, it does feel a bit sketchy, given the state of various homes in the area; a lot of them appear to be empty and in real need of renovations/repair. Google Weeden street to get an idea, so you're prepared.
Walking distance is approx 15 min to historic downtown, so it was in a very good spot. Short drive to the beach area (15 min). Depending on when you go, make sure you're prepared to make reservations to any of the restaurants either in historic downtown, or the couple of restaurants near the home. This may be due to smaller staff sizes and the current virus issue, but it was hard for us to walk up and get seated, and some restaurants were totally booked a couple day out.
With respect to the home itself, we enjoyed it. The only disappointment was the fact that the listing says it sleeps 5. While this is true if someone wants to sleep on the couch (not a pull-out, but as Elliot stated, it is very comfortable), or triple up on one of the two queen size beds, it really sleeps 4. I wish I had know that prior to booking because there were other sleep 5 options for the same price. To Elliot's credit, he did offer to bring us a blow up mattress; We decided to triple up on a queen bed.
The TV is equipped with You-Tube TV. I'm saying this because if you're not familiar with it, you should get familiar with it before you go, as it took me a couple of days to figure out how to get live channels.
While I did not meet Elliot as some have, he was incredibly nice and helpful over the phone; explaining the history of the house, and suggesting areas to go.
So, would I ever rebook? Yes. Our overall experience was very nice, and now we know to bring only 4 people.
