Good pet friendly property at a great price with room to improve
This was our third visit to GH and the first at this property. We LOVED the backyard for our pooch and the price is fantastic. The host was quick to respond and accommodating. I suffer from a spinal disorder so travel is always painful, but I slept well so yay! That said, I have a few warnings for potential renters and some recommendations to the owner.
First, this is a split unit. I don’t believe this is called out in the listing apart from the mention of a shared backyard. There was a lot of noise coming from the upstairs unit, both the house itself and the guests. Also, there is no washer/dryer in the lower unit. That’s on me for not noticing, but heads up & pack accordingly. The walking distance to downtown was further than expected. While it’s manageable for able bodied adults, we have 7, 9, and 11yo kids who got really tired and crabby.
As far as things that could be improved…My husband and I ate most meals standing, but there is space for a larger dining table. A four seater would probably fit okay. There wasn’t enough tableware and we had to wash dishes daily. There was one towel holder with three hooks. In a beach town, more places to dry towels/suits is desperately needed (thinking small clothesline in the yard). There’s also nowhere to store clothes in the 2nd bedroom. I borrowed baskets from the bathroom for this purpose, but there are a lot of small space storage options or shelves that could work. Mostly minor inconveniences that can easily be addressed!
