Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy
Everything was pretty much as described. The location was a nice and the view was wonderful. Having access to a no-vehicles beach was very nice. The negatives: The check instructions are not super-accurate. They say to look for the door key in the lockbox and provide a combination to open it, but it does not open and there is no key inside it anyway. You just use the entry pad. It took us a while to figure out how to lock the door when leaving, but we finally did. If you plan to use the outside charcoal grill, be sure to bring the tools to clean it. It was absolutely filthy.Also, there were several rather large roaches inside the house, and one hitched a ride home with us. So don't leave anything open, including your luggage because when they come out they are incredibly fast runners and tracking one down in your house to kill is not easy. I tried to include some photos of them, but it won't let me.
