The property and the owner were both excellent! The location was perfect for us. Our only complaint would be the age of the appliances, pots, pans, etc, and that there weren't any larger beds. The stove is an old gas stove and the pots and pans all felt cheap. For a few hundred bucks a new modern stove and some new equipment in the kitchen would work wonders. For our family of 6, preparing our planned meals was a bit difficult with the age of some of the kitchen items. While there was plenty of room for the 6 of us, the largest bed in any of rooms was only a full at best. Granted, the rooms were small so a queen may not be ideal, but it would certainly have been more comfortable. These are small complaints (suggestions) though. Still 5 stars all the way for us!
The beach access was superb... Just a block up the street and you're in the sand! The neighbors, both permanent and other vacationers, were all very friendly and welcoming to us obvious tourists.
The instructions that were left in varying locations throughout the house were all very detailed. We didn't have any trouble knowing how to turn on the TV, DVD (they have what could be for *many* people an intricate and perhaps confusing entertainment system), the portable air conditioning, etc. Likewise with the instructions left for when guests come back from the beach.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will strongly consider coming back again next year! We plan on making a "beach week" a yearly event since we had so much fun on our stay, and this house will be high on our list (top of the list with the couple of changes mentioned). Thanks again to the owners for the hospitality and the wonderful property!
