3 Month Availability Snapshot for this Vacation Rental
"From an email to owner: We had a terrific holiday and enjoyed meeting you. We tried to respect your home. If it was left in an unacceptable fashion please let me know. You asked for our thoughts about the house so here they are: 1. Location, view and physical attributes, for us, cannot be beat. 2. I think you have an issue with ants. 3. You ought to add some additional "locking" garbage cans. For folks like us that bring 6 + guests who intend to eat in a lot, 3 garbage cans are not sufficient. 4. For multiple-week renters, the rental rate ought to include one cleaning service visit. It's a very large home and with a fair number of guests. With respect, we have rented similar "premium" homes in other locales, both in US and abroad, and cleaning service is customary and, I think, an attraction. 5. The kitchen is almost over-stocked. Think about eliminating some of the older pots & pans. Think about adding a griddle. 6. We had difficulty getting water to boil in a pot for things like pasta. 7. Think about adding an umbrella to the round table on the deck. On calm days the deck does not get much breeze due to the lovely (rosa rugosa) bushes. Some shade would be wonderful and add to usage of the deck. 8. With respect to the attached apartment, the presence of the former owners was for us a benefit. I don't think we bothered them and they never bothered us. I am not sure whether you intend to rent the apartment to others. If so I could envision the set-up being problematic. To be clear we loved the house and the uniform opinion of our family is that they want to go back next year. So please accept the above comments in the constructive fashion in which they are intended. Best regards, Harry S."
