The downstairs is an open concept with the kitchen flowing into the dining room, sunwashed family room, and game room which all take advantage of the beautiful harbor views ever changing with the tides.

Summary: The location is great. The deck was a highlight. However, the furniture in most of the rooms was a bit worn, faded and old, including the bedroom furniture. The beds were not made but clean linens were waiting for us on the front porch to make the beds ourselves, which was not ideal. The pillows were old and stained. I suppose if the beds were premade we would not have noticed that. When we went to load the dishwasher with dirty dishes there was an entire load of clean dishes to unload and put away. The house was definitely missing some amenities that you expect to find, especially in such an expensive house. There was no hand soap in any bathroom or at the kitchen sink. With the linen delivery were towels but no bath mats. There were no blankets in the living spaces to snuggle up with. The freezer also was a bit touchy. If you did not press it closed after shutting it, the magnetic seal would not catch. The shower curtain in the downstairs bathroom was not secured and just rests on top of the shower insert, making it a bit tricky to get in and out of the shower.The kitchen was well-equipped. Again, the location is great. A short walk to a couple restaurants and a short bike ride to downtown KBPT. Plenty of space and beds but just felt like a little more effort by the hosts could make a stay here more effortless for the renter. It did not have the perceived value to reflect the price we paid, sorry to say.
