The view from the house is gorgeous! The house is older and a bit outdated but the view.... the view justifies the minor flaws. The hot tub on the front deck was nice in the evening, it does not overlook the ocean as I thought but was still very enjoyable. The pool table downstairs was a lot of fun as well! Management company was great, very communicative and helpful.

The homes location is fantastic. Upon our arrival, we found the home extremely hot; we opened the windows, noticed algae in the bottom portion of each window. The interior could definitely use some improvements; upstairs bedroom bedding (duvet) needs replacement, the bathroom fans do not work; way too much humidity! Unfortunately, we lost power twice (that’s a utility company issue) but found inadequate emergency lighting; I found cheap lanterns in the kitchen cabinet. Maybe upgrade those items. Other than that, we had a nice time. Lastly, maybe conceal the trash cans in front of the house; it’s tacky. Maybe build a small concealment if the HOA will allow.Thx
