Rustic Charm (perhaps too much)
The house is full of character. Lots of wood and rustic touches. It's isolated but close to town and several top beaches (Hug Point, etc). Great views. It was a cool place to play games and watch the storm.Downsides: - There is absolutely NO HEAT in the bedroom on the main floor. The size of our group necessitated that we use all 5 bedrooms. There were several storms on our four night stay and as the one stuck in the room without heat, it was challenging to get a full nights sleep. Thankfully there were lots of extra blankets to use to build a makeshift fort for warmth.- In that same, main floor bedroom, there is a massive leak in the sealing above the backside of the stone fireplace chimney. When it would rain, rivers of water would run down the stones, adding an unpleasant, damp to an already freezing room. This should be repaired and soon!- One of the reasons we chose this house was for the fireplaces. We had lots of plans to sit around a crackling fire. If this is what you're planning on, look elsewhere. One of the fireplaces was marked as broken/not available for use (not mentioned on listing) while the other is gas only. This was a disappointment. Wood we purchased was worthless. - The dishes and glassware in the glass front cabinet stink. Like a lot. I don't know why (mildew?) but we had to wash every dish twice.It's a funky house with lots of quirks. Our group had an enjoyable stay, but that's down to a good group of friends more than anything.
