Our stay was very relaxing. The host was very responsive. The house was very clean and very well stocked. Full of games and amenities. The ocean view was alittle obscure. Over all we would definitely book again.

This house was nice but I would suggest adding some extra blankets or throws, and maybe new appliances. The refrigerator did not keep items very cold. The ice/water feature on fridge door did not work. The stove took a long time to cook scrambled eggs and pancakes. It has a nice view of the ocean and the house ac works well.

We were not sent a code to access the property. I had to email to get code, which didn’t match number of numbers to enter. There was a lock box on door but it had no batteries, so it didn’t work. The shower lights were out in both bathrooms. The exhaust fan over cooktop was disconnected. We used the dishwasher, but it didn’t seem to clean the dishes.
