Pros: Spotlessly clean, No concerns about safety or unwanted critters, Comfortable bed, Generous permission to use some of their firewood in their firepit (helped keep the mosquitoes to a minimum), About a city block to the beach, beach towels provided, beach chairs in shed, Beach is clean and wasn't overly crowded (weekday), 15-20 min walk to the main drag (on the other side of water so need to go around), Quick response time from host regarding issues. Unexpected early check-in.
Cons: *Not as secluded as expected - the backs of several properties look down on this one as it's situated slightly lower. *dead end street but decent foot traffic - folks kept asking my spouse if he was okay when he was lying around trying to get some sun so it just felt like there wasn't any privacy. *Many windows don't have furnishings, including bathroom,*Bathroom is tiny, so you can't get changed in there, which means walking through the building with all those windows. *If you aren't a small person you may have issues getting in to the shower with the bathroom door closed. *Bedrooms are small - before I realized one of the neighbors windows could see in to the bedroom I may have given them a post-shower show...oops, *Hot tub was very foamy - host came over to check PH (again - great response time) it was still super foamy if turned up so I eventually just gave up.
Overall a nice clean spot, convenient location, accommodating responsive host, but not what we expected for seclusion.
