Excellent communication from owner. He was very responsive and helpful. House appeared to be very clean. Neighborhood is quiet and well kept. Bikes/Kayaks are readily acceptable, but the kayaks will need to be rinsed off and we needed to put air in a couple of bike tires. Pump was in the closet. Kayak ramp entrance is in neighborhood, so it was easily accessible. You can definitely bike to beach from here, but it is a longer walk. We were able to find parking easily at different beach entrance points, but best to get there before 10am. Porta potties were by each beach entrance.House was definitely clean, but a bit more dated than we expected. Kitchen area could use an update with better cabinets and supplies/dishes/pans. Updating the sinks/mirrors in the bathrooms would be a worthwhile improvement. Maybe rugs by or under the beds in the bedrooms. I hate stepping onto a bare floor, but that's just me. The house is on stilts, and you can occasionally feel house movement when someone is walking around. You mainly feel it when you are lying in bed, but once you know it's there and what it is, it's not a major deal. It initially startled my daughters who slept upstairs, so just be aware. Not a ton of room for a lot of people in the living room/kitchen area, but the house sleeps a lot of people and has many beds at a good price.
