Positives: Nice view and beachfront rooms were all clean. ---- NEGATIVES: There was a dead possum right on the path to the beach as you step off the back patio from the house. The kitchen faucet was leaking upon arrival. So we had to turn off the shut-offs under the sink. Also, the propane grill's ignitor is not working, forcing us to take off all the grates and use a lighter to cook steaks
