This is not an $8,000 tajmahal-right-on-the-beach property, so I didn't expect it to be one. The house, furniture, kitchen, and appliances, etc. were dated, but the house was fairly clean and spacious. Linens were provided, which was nice. There were two bikes, beach chairs, and lots of boogie boards, etc. We could see both the sound and the ocean from the top level. The air conditioning worked great. There were seven of us and there was plenty of room to spread out. The kids enjoyed playing games and watching the large tv when we weren't on the beach. Overall we had a great experience.
