Location here is the key to loving this classic cottage house...The bathrooms are clean, functional, and welcoming to those who want a tub or a standing shower, and the outdoor shower is spacious and has a handheld you can use, always a plus when returning from a day at one of the beaches within walking distance. Air conditioning, hot water, no problems there! I particularly liked that the hosts were easy to get in touch with if we had any questions about their home away from home. The yard was well maintained, the basketball hoop invited a game of ball though we were too exhausted from wave surfing most days. Every morning, we enjoyed breakfast at the island bar, sliding glass doors to the deck allowing a view of the beach and waves in the distance. The beds were extremely comfortable, and so too the couches! On rainy days, there is plenty of space to go off and enjoy some alone time before reconvening to eat dinner or watch a movie on the big screen in the living room. We loved the deck with its wrap around view of the front yard and side yard, the ocean and the garden (and there were numerous rabbits for the kids to get excited about seeing). Instructions were easy to locate at the bar that greets you when you enter. Someone even took the garbage bins to the street for refuse and recycling to clean up early, and I thank whoever beat me to those bins! (I was on time FTR.) Appliances worked fine and we had no issues. Definitely a gem. Thanks to the hosts for letting us stay!
