Parrot Hall provided a unique and comfortable environment in a superb location. Within close walking distance to beach and shopping, the house is also a short drive to services and recreational opportunities. The house is attractive on the exterior, has well maintained grounds and offers multiple gathering and relaxing spaces both inside and out. While somewhat dated, the decor includes fun and interesting artwork, nice bedrooms and baths, and a general aura of warmth and coziness within gracious square footage. Kitchen was well equipped and attractive, but did not have a disposal. The pool and surrounding outside areas were a particular hit with all ages in our group, and the heated pool temperature was perfect for late November.

We did, however, experience an unexpected series of issues soon after we arrived including no CATV reception, pool maintenance wanting to close and shock pool, and inoperable pool lighting. The owner did quickly step in and resolve all matters, except pool lighting, in a reasonably fast manner. These events followed a much more troubling finding just two days before our arrival. I had rented this house primarily because of its waterfront location and dock, and had confirmation from owner in writing 10 months before arrival that I could dock a 26 foot boat during our stay. In spite of this fact, I was told at the last minute that our boat could not be accommodated due to spacing regulations related to a boat that was already docked at the house. The owner offered and did pay my off-site marina docking fees, but this was a very unexpected inconvenience.

Overall, in spite of noted issues, we enjoyed our stay and I recommend this property to other prospective renters. The owner was very courteous and concerned about our problems, most of which were beyond his control, and did try to do the right thing in response.
