The house is in need of quite a few updates. There were some updates. The house is pet friendly, but did not expect it to smell like dog urine. The couch smelled and has stains too. All the furniture is out dated and uncomfortable. The beds were uncomfortable and are queen size, not king size, as was listed in description. It is very peaceful and quiet and a short walk to public beach access.The additional bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and small.living area is on the back side and not accessible from main living quarters. It is like a small apartment with no kitchen, just a small apartment fridge.The.outside area was dirty and trash all over. Very unkemped. I.would not recommended this house.

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your stay did not meet expectations.
We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful location and beach access, and we appreciate your input as it helps us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
If you really want to be away, this is the place for you. While there are neighbors, we were there at a time when it is only snowbirds so quiet days and nights the whole time.The porch is screened in (a few panels need to be replaced before big season) and the outer deck has safety fencing so we felt fine letting the dog roam free in the sun with no fear of her getting out. I think the same would hold true for younger childrenAccess the beach was great. Dogs allowed so could walk her there.The beach is very nice. Ample fishing opportunities from the beach or on the bay side near the golf course. The kitchen was not well appointed. There was no usable cutting board, the pans were not given much thought, I think this last statement describes how the kitchen was appointed. The master bath has plenty of space and is nicely remodeled. Every bed room has a bathroom which I think would be nice for a larger group.While the quiet is nice, be aware, it will take you an hour round trip to get groceries, or do anything in town. There is not much, other than the beach.

We’re glad you enjoyed the quiet, peaceful setting and beach access, as well as the screened porch and outdoor space—especially for your dog. It’s great to hear the layout with private bathrooms and the updated master bath worked well for your stay.
We do apologize that the kitchen was not as well-equipped as expected and appreciate you bringing that to our attention. Your feedback will be shared with the team for improvements.
