The house was okay. It looked much better online. When we got there the house had a lot of mold on the siding. The house was humid and overall uncomfortable. It also smelled a little moldy. It was very close the beach however which was great. We walked over to the beach several times. The final day we were there we did everything we possiblencould to stay out of the residence because of how uncomfortable it was. The host was great and responsive. Overall the trip was good, but we agreed that for what we payed we should have gotten a nice hotel room.

The property was as described. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were lots of places to eat, and grocery stores were nearby. THe beach is across the street, about a block away. The only hitch was that the door wouldn't open. The host helped us resolve the issue with the keypad.

The place was okay, floors were dirty, WiFi useless, and the property manager was impossible to get ahold of. They only provided one cheap garbage bag that was worse than a dollar general shopping bag. Overall nice stay though and good location. AC worked and there were beds which was all that was needed I suppose.
