The Just Right Large Family Getaway
A Guest from Media, PA recommends this property
Stayed 7 days in June, 2010
Had a delightful time. NE Massachusetts is a beautiful area, and has something for everyone... interesting villages, state parks, beaches, the Boston metro area, etc. Our large group of 13 plus two small children enjoyed each other’s company in the comfort of the living and dining areas, and had a great time biking, playing ping pong, and reading in the sun room, among a number of local activities. The bathrooms were sufficient for our needs and the sleeping arrangements worked out well. The house was tastefully furnished and the property spacious and private. We would welcome the opportunity to return.
· Some maintenance issues- the dishwasher would not cycle through properly. If set on a normal wash and left alone, it would not advance. We returned several times after day’s outing to find it still running on the wash cycle. Would only advance by manually moving past the “light wash” setting. Also, the detergent at times did not dispense.
· Toaster control would not allow darker toast- handle would not stay down, even on the left side for single toast.
· Vanity light in 2nd floor hall bath not working
· Exhaust fans in baths would be nice (musty odors at times in baths/ different parts of the house)
· Some towels appeared clean, but were noticeably stained.
· Needed better vacuuming – carpets and under furniture, mildew smell at times.
· Tennis/ basketball court should be better maintained if being advertised as a feature.
Manager Response
Thank you for your kind and positive feedback. On the more "constructive" comments please know that the dishwasher has been fixed, that there is a toaster oven as well as a toaster, you must have missed the additional light switch for the vanity light. As far as the musty smell, we deduced that this came from the washer that needed service to have the filter cleaned. This has also been done and the mustiness is gone. We do hope that you will come back to Cape Ann in the future!
