Pros - pet friendly for dogs over 50lbs & close to the beach and in townCons - the beds are terrible. No one slept well, I slept on couch, well, barely slept. Multiple things could stand to be replaced like the cutting board, the dish drying rack is nasty, we got one dish towel and one bath towel per person. The house is fine. Someone just really needs to replace things like the shower head, the shower rack, dish drying rack, some kitchen tools and the cleaners need to clean under and behind the beds. There was a lot of dust behind the beds and in the fans. The rugs, throw pillows bedding, are all very old. Minor upgrades would help a lot along with new mattresses.
