We loved that this house was on two floors just across the street from the beach! We just walked down the street past two houses and took the boardwalk over to the beach. The bedding and towels were very nice and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking untenstils. There is a nice sitting area both on the upper porch (also a table and chairs which was good for meals, although the flies were pretty intense), as well as on the lower area. There are steps that lead from the upper porch down to the fenced in back yard. Floors are either hardwood or tile, so it was easy to keep them clean. We loved having a washer and dryer, and the dishwasher was so quiet that we weren't sure it was running! There is also a table inside the picture window on the upper level where six people can easily sit. Two barstools and counter are adjacent to the table for more seating. There are also snack tables. The only issues we had was with the stove and the septic tank. The stove worked fine for the first couple of days, but then the two larger eyes would only work intermittently. Jimmy the owner says he has taken the stove top apart, so hopefully that has been remedied. Jimmy did have to have the field lines to the septic tank replaced in the backyard during our stay, which are located at the bottom on the steps leading to the backyard, so we were not able to use the backyard for the dogs because of the loose dirt and rain we had during the week. When we had trouble with the septic tank the first day, Jimmy immediately had the septic tank pumped out until the field line repairs could be made on Monday. We had no other problems with the plumbing the rest of the stay. We would definitely stay at this house again! Jimmy was great to work with and very responsive.
