This was a great house for our group (two grandparents, four parents, two teens, and two toddlers). The house is close to beach, shops, and restaurants, and is great for large groups. The beds and furniture are comfortable. The driveway fits 3+ cars and there are street parking passes for 2 more. The pool was the perfect temp.
However, the house is short on amenities we would expect at the price point, and the host wasn’t great at communicating.
The house has no linens (sheets or towels), which we didn’t find out until after booking. Bathrooms had no toiletries, and only a few even had hand soap. There were only two dish towels, so we bought a set that we left there.
We had arranged for a mid-week cleaning, but the night before the host texted to say we couldn’t be in the house while they cleaned. That didn’t work for us, so we compromised that they would just clean the common areas. However, when the cleaners arrived, they told us they couldn’t clean unless we moved all of our stuff (snacks, kids’ toys, bathroom toiletries). Ultimately, we just canceled it.
The coffee maker seemed to be missing parts and no one could figure out how to use it. A Keurig would be better, or at least an instruction sheet.
We were also surprised to find two Nest cameras - one on the front porch and one overlooking the driveway - which were not mentioned anywhere in the listing or the introductory emails. We spent a lot of time on the front porch, so we left the camera unplugged.
