We were in town for a memorial service, so all of my kids and grandkids could be together.1. water in kitchen never got hot after running 15 minutes- still only warm.2. Burners on stove too low - took 30 minutes just to boil water- the flames were never very high and didn’t get real hot as they should. 3. 6 qt pot not adequate for a large group - (this house can accommodate 20, per vrbo so the kitchen needs more/larger supplies - our suggestion)4. Sink drain on top floor is still clogged 5. You’re maybe aware that the threshold strip is loose on the 1st floor in the doorway to the “old kitchen” and that one of the cupboard doors is off a hinge- [ ] Great house but needs some attention re: mold in shower 3rd floor, deck furniture, (no cushions) moldy trash can in kitchen; - [ ] The porcelain bowl broke whIle we were cooking eggs - nothing touched it- it just suddenly broke with some of our eggs in it! It appeared that it had been broken before and glued. The heat from the eggs probably caused the glue to give out?- no other explanation.Some of the walls could use cleaning- spots and drips were obvious The quantity of beds was sufficient for all 13 of us and they were comfortable. Thank you for fixing the bed slats in my room, and for getting the outlets to work in the kitchen.

Lovely house, great views!

This house has great views of the bay, and it's very big. It comfortably held my family and my sister's family. It was clean and easy to check in and out. We enjoyed walks along the water and to Shell Beach. It does need some curtains in the master bathroom, because the huge glass windows look out into the neighbors' yards and they can see right into the bathroom. There are a few items that need fixing, like rusting vents and a large hole near one of the backdoors.
