"The house is lovely, and the decor is beautiful and very coastal. Views are wonderful so close to the water. Most of the house was throughly cleaned but the floors were dirty when we got there (dirtied up our socks, visible particles). Kitchen has everything you need including some condiments in the fridge. It was great having laundry on sight to wash some towels and clothing mid-stay. Not much to do in the area, a lot of closed down establishments but we were there to see family, so it was fine. As other reviewers mentioned, it is quite loud on the street. Cars, motorcycles, trucks and ATV’s speed past at all hours of the day/night. You do kind get used to it, it didn’t disturb our sleeping 4 year old and ear plugs helped me. We did notice some noises in the wall in the family room, scurrying and squeaking… possible rats… but never any indication of being IN the house. If we were to stay in Carbonear again, I would still consider renting this home again."
