We traveled as a large family group and the arrangement of beds/rooms worked out well for the 6 adults and 2 kids with us. The walk to the beach, while steep, was quite manageable (5 minutes?), and the location was good. The home is clean and well maintained, but no-frills, and some furniture is showing signs of wear. Great selection of games to play with; loved the patio. Quirky, cheery artwork and décor which really suited our style. Lots of clean towels and extra sheets, and everything was clearly labeled for ease of access and use.

There's only one TV in the house, in the basement, but its a larger upgraded TV , nicer than is show in the photos. Apparently there are streaming options through the DVD player but I didn't figure that out and used an amazon fire stick that I brought from home.

Other than the upgraded TV, the photos on the website are pretty accurate in terms of furniture and decor we found in the home.

While the house sleeps a fair number of people, note that the dining table has 6 chairs, and the kitchenette has 4. I would love to see a larger dining table so that everyone could eat together. For the same reason, I wouldn't try to put more than 10 in the house unless there was more dining seating.

The downstairs game room with bunks has plenty of space to hold a large number of people, but the bunk beds need to be replaced. They are loud and squeaky, no rails on the top bunks, and (worst of all), the ladders to the top bunk were loose. Although maintenance (Eli) came out and tried to reattach them, it's not a safe permanent fix, and I'd worry about injury liability if I was the owner. I started my first night on one of the lower bunk beds but slept so poorly with all the squeaks that I ultimately moved to the futon. It wasn't terribly comfortable but at least it was quiet. The downstairs also has no place to keep clothes like a closet or drawers, so we lived out of suitcases scattered around the room. A dresser or wardrobe would be a welcome addition.

Also worth noting: the living room is limited to only two lamps for lighting. It could greatly benefit from can lighting in the ceiling in addition to the lamps. We also had problems with the BBQ grill and couldn't use it (wouldn't heat up much while on), although it had gas and is a good quality weber grill. With a bit of troubleshooting we could have done something to get it to heat up past ~200 , but I was on vacation and just cooked inside.

We had an enjoyable trip and the house overall really suited our needs. I would consider renting the same home again, especially if the bunk beds were replaced.
