Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this house! It was my husband, myself and 3 y.o son, as well as my In Laws, and there was plenty of room for us all.
It is very clean, seeming to be newly painted and spruced up. Decorated nicely. To note, it is on a fairly busy street, so you hear a lot of traffic noise during the day, not so bad at night, and honestly we did get used to it. And though it is connected to another house (a giant condo of sorts?), you would never know it. There is a small fenced in yard, perfect for our 3 y.o to run around in. The grill and picnic table are located at the head of the driveway, which is kind of a bummer as you sit right next to your car, but worked out fine. Entry is via a keypad (no keys ever) so be sure to note down the code or memorize it! AC units in all bedrooms and living room.
The kitchen is small but fine, though I must note there are no spices except salt + pepper and a can of Pam in the cupboard. Also nothing like ketchup,mustard etc in the fridge. There were paper towels, but no foil or plastic baggies or anything (though I'm quite sure we might've been the 1st renters, so this might improve as people leave things?). There is a dishwasher, which is handy.
There are 4 bedrooms, one downstairs is a single bed, then 3 rooms upstairs (2 queens + one room w 2 twins). Two full bathrooms, one on each floor, which is great. The beds were quite comfortable, plenty of linens and bath towels. There are no curtains in the bedrooms, just blinds, so the morning light does shine in pretty brightly, pretty early(not so fun with a toddler).
There is a small-ish, nice beach that's about 5 minute walk from the house, just cross the main road, which is wonderful. There are lots of beach chairs and beach towels and an umbrella included to use. Though beach toys are included, they are kind of sparse, we actually left 2 little shovels and 2 rakes there to beef it up, otherwise there's 2 buckets and small watering can, so pack more if your kid would want more.
Grocery store is about 10 mins away, we ordered pizza from Paradise Pizza down the road and it was quite good. Though the water is fine to drink, we didn't love the taste so bought some jugs to drink from.
We did opt to pay $70 fee for the laundry to be done, and glad we did, bc the machines are kind of small and I don't there'd be any way we'd get it all done before check out!
The host was very responsive to all my texts/emails.
Would recommend to stay here!
