Great spot, except for the moldy windows.
The location of this rental was superb. It was walking distance from a long section of sandy beach. It was also close to a very lovely trail. We enjoyed our time outside a lot. It was a gift.
The overall look of the inside was nice. The kitchen served us well. FYI they don't want you to cook crab here so plan accordingly. We stopped for fish along the way so that would have been disappointing to find out had we purchased fresh crab. There is no kitchen exhaust, so that made things interesting. That in combination with the heavy wind and rain. Several of the windows collected condensation and exposed the active mold sources. I shared the concerns with the host group property management team and they seemed pressed to take care of it. I was left feeling pretty miserable while we were there and am detoxing after our stay. Our belongings retained the musty odor of the property so I am cleaning that with mold specific laundry products. If that were my property, I would be updating the windows and removing any water damaged material.
Had I known the condition of this rental, I would not have chosen to spend time or money here. I understand that battling moisture on the coast is a constant struggle. Updating the windows from single pane aluminum would go a long way. The gorgeous picture window was covered in mold around the perimeter. In the bottom left corner there was cracking and peeling paint, a sign of mold and water damage. This was not what I was expecting for our vacay.
