We rented Mary's home for a week to celebrate our 10 year anniversary & spend some quality down time with each other and our two 4 yr old dogs. Wow, what a spectacular location and opportunity to get away for pet owners! The backyard is fenced with 4 ft high vinyl fencing, exception being under the stairs to the second floor but it is inaccessible due to plants and storage so not a problem unless you have a REALLY determined escape artist. There is an abundance out outdoor furniture inviting you to enjoy your patio or the yard and a noticeable lack of bugs! We spent a considerable amount of time just eating, having our coffee or playing with the dogs outside which was the relaxation we were looking for.
The best part though was the accessibility to the beach. Burwell's beach was but a two minute walk, we brought out paddleboards & inflated them once. Otherwise we walked two houses down, across the crosswalk and we were there! Mary had a hose available to rinse human & dog feet which was wonderful and offered us so many other little niceties like chairs or a cooler to use! The beach had some of the most beautiful sunsets (As did our Patio) and it was breathtaking.
Inside the rental, all was clean and comfortable. There was ample space for storage of clothes and items for the week. Water pressure was great, heating & cooling was perfect. I have nothing but rave reviews for this home! It is GORGEOUS.
There are two restaurants within a minute or two walking distance that were delicious. A few breakfast places only a couple miles away - we rode our bikes to "The Place" one of the days and it was delicious!
Some considerations to keep in mind - there is another unit that is rented above this one, we didn't have any issues at all! But one of my dogs is sensitive to noises and would be on alert every time there was movement on the front staircase. Mary also has 3 very sweet small dogs whom you will likely see & get to meet! My more nervous dog can be hit or miss with new dogs - thankfully he liked them! But this is an area with a LOT of dogs. There was always someone walking by the yard, or down the street visible from the living room. If you have a reactive dog I am adding this info for you! :)
Overall - if you are considering this place DO it. You won't regret it, there is so much to do in the area even if you are not a beach person and so many wonderful restaurants and stores. The home itself is luxurious and peaceful. Thank you Mary!!
