The house is as stated, an older farmhouse. Furnishings are basic to support a stay but plan on buying/bringing things like garbage bags, dish soap, toilet paper, etc. The water conditioner system sweats alot so you will see puddles on the kitchen floor. It is worth the puddle though. Garbage pickup....the municipality is very specific so if you plan to produce alot of garbage they only took 2 kitchen garbage bags. Now, that small stuff aside. The house definitely served our needs. The neighborhood is great, and yes, the internet and tv is sparce, but honestly, it gave us a chance to reflect each night on the day, laugh at each other a little more, and relax. So, to wrap this up, if you want to relax, no frills, have a glass of wine on a porch and listen to the ocean roar, the boats earn a family a living, and say hello to some nice people, book it. I would do it again.
