The house was exactly as pictured (not always the case with rentals!) - comfortable, spacious bedrooms and living spaces. We didn't use the lower "deck" game area because the weather was so cooperative (late March) that we spent a lot of time outside, but had originally booked the house for January, when we would certainly have made use of it. Beautiful, well supplied kitchen. Some rentals have refrigerators stocked with condiments, jams, etc. This house doesn't have that - only salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar, oil), so be prepared to bring your own or buy it in town. All in all, our entire extended family wished we lived at Tide House full time!
