All in all, a good trip, but...
We were happy with the house and it was well appointed. It's central on Cape Cod and there were plenty of places close by and accessible by bike or car. With that said:
-- The oven wasn't working when we got there and never got fixed. Del Mar didn't warn us about the oven and the countertop convection oven they provided wasn't useful.
-- The A/C went out the first day and wasn't fixed until the fourth day of a heat wave. Maintenance was GREAT about getting four window units in rooms, but it kept us from congregating in the common rooms.
-- The handles on the master tub didn't work until they were replaced at our request. Then the hot water wasn't adequate to fill the tub. We didn't bother to ask if that could be fixed.
-- The house is one of four on a common compound; that didn't bother us much, but it wasn't evident in the description.
-- The compound is on an inlet with a dock and water, but at low tide it's maybe two feet high and at high tide maybe five feet high. It doesn't work great for swimming or watersports as a result.
-- The was no instruction book in the unit and no clear way to get on the internet. We ultimately figured it out (look at the router to get the hotspot and password).
We had a lovely time and I do want to emphasize that Del Mar was very responsive when we reached out, and the maintenance people were on it and friendly as could be. The house is getting a little threadbare and needs investment, especially on utilities.
