Review Score:   6
Summary: The property location and historic home are quite special—however, this house is not in rental condition. The house is cluttered with personal memorabilia and lacked basic cleanliness from the kitchen to the bed linens (cobwebs, rust, dust, sand, etc). The bathrooms are updated and in good working condition. The kitchen is tiny and limited functionality for feeding our group of 10. The general feeling is that while it is charming and one of the oldest homes in the area, it is very tired and needs a lot of updating to be a fully functional rental for a family of 10. With more attention this could be a fantastic vacation cottage. The beach access, deck and porch are lovely. We hope the house gets the love and upkeep that it deserves.
