Kathleen is a kind host. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and calm. The outdoor spaces are unbeatable. A screened in porch with furniture and a back deck with a grill and a picnic table!
The interior is mostly as described however the beds are an issue. An adult couple was to sleep on the pull out couch, but it is not a usable bed and is extremely uncomfortable. The trundle beds have footboards, so you have to step on the lower bed to get out. They are only usable as two twin beds. The only other complaint about the property is the gate to the dock pictured is locked. There may be a key, but it was not mentioned in the instructions. It may be out of commission. As I had already messaged many times, I didn't ask.
There was one big issue that put a damper on the end of our trip. The listing clearly says the checkout time is 11:00am. We were interrupted at 10 by a very rude staff member who entered the home abruptly to clean while someone was getting ready in the living room. This was distressing. Then hostile behavior ensued. We had to show the her listing on both VRBO and Expedia while she was on the phone with Kathleen to prove we were allowed to be there.
To be clear, these issues did not ruin the trip! The house is great and I do believe it was an honest albeit frustrating mistake on Kathleen's part that she got mixed up on the checkout time she listed. Again, she was always very responsive. If you have one adult couple and four or less young kids, book this place!
