Lovely stay on the beach
The house on the beach has a real cabin feel which was just what we were looking for in our winter getaway. We found the heat on but the cabin was cold when we arrived. No surprise - it was near 40F outside. There is a mini-split in the open living space and electric wall heaters in each bedroom, in the laundry room, and a heater in the bathroom. It took a while to warm the place up and we were quite comfortable once the chill in the cabin was gone.We tried using the wood burning fireplace insert but we couldn’t get it to draw well and it started seeping smoke into the room. So we just aired out the cabin and gave up on the fireplace since we didn’t want to risk more smoke. I suggest some clear written instructions for how best to get the fireplace to draw so it doesn’t smoke (open the flue [indicate which way is open], window cracked, get a good blaze going, and only then close the door). That was our only hiccup. Not really a problem in the summer time but a fire would have been nice on those cold winter nights.The kitchen is a dream. It is well equipped with everything you need to cook meals indoors. The beds are comfortable and there are ample blankets/duvets and pillows. Check out instructions are posted on the wall behind the front door rather than in the VRBO instructions.The view is what one would want at the beach - Logs and sand, water, and ferries going by. It just felt like our childhood spent vacationing on this beach. Wonderful! We will stay again
