The house is exactly as described. It was clean and well equipped with everything you need for a stay. The new owner, Bogdan, was very nice, responsive, and accommodating. I mentioned the coffee maker was broken, and within about 45 minutes he hand delivered a new one to us.
The neighbors are also nice and gave us advice on how, and more importantly, WHEN to come in and out of the canals with our boat. I've only seen one other review that mentioned bringing a boat, so I wanted to mention some things. If you are bringing or renting a boat, you have to pay attention to the tides. This was our 3rd year scalloping in Hudson, and the tide swings here can be upwards of 5 feet. The canals are all deep, but the channel out of the neighborhood is lined with rocks and kind of just ends in the middle of a shallow flat (my old GPS shows it as land). At low tide, unless you have the skinniest of boats, you won't be able to get in or out. We brought a 22 foot center console, and we needed at least a 1.5 foot positive tide to get in and out. I played it safe and came in and out at 2 foot. Don't let this worry you too much though, you still get plenty of time on the water between those tides... we were out for 6 or more hours each day and still had extra time.
All that is to say, it's a nice place and neighborhood and we would stay again.
