This home is in a great location: walking distance to the Rockland Breakwater and Lighthouse, close to grocery and other essential stores, and a short drive to downtown Rockland and all it has to offer: great restaurants, shops, and waterfront. Glen Cove is a nice home on a spacious lot. We so appreciated the lovely view and the expansive yard was wonderful for us and our dogs.
The home itself could use a deep cleaning (particularly inside drawers and cabinets, which apparently haven't been cleaned in a long while). We also wondered if perhaps the cleaning person hadn't finished when we arrived, as the vacuum was still in the living room, there were wet cleaning rags by the kitchen sink, and some linens and bath rugs were still in the dryer. The home could use additional blankets (each bed had just sheets and a light coverlet) and bath towels (there were five for our party of four for a one-week stay). There were plenty of hand towels and washcloths. Some cleaning products and dishwasher detergent were provided, but there was no kitchen sponge or dish brush. We had to buy our own. The home REALLY needs some shades or privacy curtains, especially in the bathrooms. The previous guest must have felt the same way as there was a bath towel hanging over the valence rod in the hall bathroom. It was disconcerting to use the bathrooms, especially at night, without assurance of privacy.
It is always our policy to leave a place better than we found it, and this was no exception. We vacuumed, wiped counters, removed all trash and recycling, and washed all towels (the latter two tasks were requested by the host).
We offer these comments in a sincere desire to be helpful, to the homeowner and to others.
