Overall inside of the house was great! Plenty rooms and loved that each had its own bathroom for our group. Kitchen was equipped and plenty of linens and towels! The trees were more overgrown in front and on side of house near the porches so blocked some of the ocean view while hanging in hot tub. The cabana was an awesome bonus to the pool area just recommend it gets a little more TLC so it is more inviting. Grill was great! Mini fridge in cabana great! Overall area needed a good broom sweep of cobwebs but other than that it was great spot to be under while small storms rolled thru quickly!

Our biggest problem is that the electronic lock at carport would not work. I did not knowthere was also a lock at top of front steps. I got in because a sliding door was not locked by a previous guest or visitor. We sat outside 2 hours trying to get door open before I found the sliding glass door open. It is a short distance to beach which is great, and pool area is fantastic. The oven cooks unevenly if you are toasting English muffins. There are sand spurs on the perimeter of yard, so look for those. That would be painful if a guest or pup got into them. Lots of things to do!

The outside areas of the house needed some work. The bar area was not clean. There were tons of cobwebs all around the bar. All areas around the fence had leaves and debri. Several weeds growing in cracks around the pool area. There was a garbage can full of old rain water. The description said the driveway can hold 6 large SUVs. It may, but we had difficulty juggling a truck and two mid size SUVs in and out. Luckily we don’t have young children because the playground area was not nice. It was weedy and dirty-neglected for several weeks.That being said, the inside was clean and well kept. The amenities inside were adequate for any needs. The elevator was a plus for our older members. Overall, we had a good experience and the house was adequate for our needs. If a little work was done cleaning and sprucing up the outside I would call it a great stay.

Check in was seamless. House was as described. Owner was responsive to a couple of items and took care of concerns quickly without impacting our enjoyment of the property. Pool area was great and cleaned during our stay. Highly recommend. A little far from the beach but the bikes were a nice feature. Overall, great place!
