  This was our tenth year at the Allen Cottage, and once again, good memories were made. We had a lovely stay. It’s a homey place, lovely art, and easy beach access. Can’t wait to come back.

  My family has been renting at Figure 8 for over 30 years. We all can home saying this was one of our very favorite houses. The beautiful kitchen (we love to cook), the big open family room and outside seating areas (both sides) make it perfect for visiting with family and friends. My only suggestion (very minor) would be to add a few more kitchen utensils (whisk, pastry brush, large measuring cup). Otherwise it was very well equipped. We have already requested it for next year! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

  Diane C from Rockville, MD does not recommend this vacation rental.

  Always enjoy figure 8. Allen house could use a little tlc. AC unit went out a couple of times waiting on a part. Kitchen drawers off tracks, not enough utensils for 9 people, missing cooktop knob, main kitchen dishwasher top rack off track/tricky to use. Overall good stay. Decent house/location for price with nice new beach path stairs.

  Overall a good week, was surprised by the construction next door and the hours it was allowed to begin but settled in nicely. House is well maintained and clean. Overall, the home was quite comfortable for our week stay.

  Beach walks, cousins' singing, wonderful meals replacing, treadmills, distasteful lyrics, fast food restaurants. What's not to like. Throw in beautiful F8I and a great staff to work with. We will be back next year for our 5th year (6th int. by Cozid)
