The house was great - very nice inside and outside, with a large outside deck and tables for meals, and arts projects, outside fireplace, hammock, and shower to wash the sand off our feet before we got in the house. Also, the house was on a very private street, but just off the main road in the area, so grocery, liquor, and other stores were a very easy commute. The kitchen was nicely furnished, with all the condiments we could have needed, there were lots (and lots) of board games, some of them brand new and unopened. The living room was very nicely set up, enticing to doing things together - whether it's watching a movie, or playing games, charades, etc.
The house was also some 15 minutes leisurely walk to the beach, or less than 5 minutes by bicycle, so the beach was very accessible. Not that the kids cared that much about that - they just needed the wifi and their screens - ARGH !!!
At night the beach received very little light pollution from the few houses which were directly on the beach, making it ideal for watching the stars and the Milky Way on a cloudless evening.
Finally, John, the owner, was very responsive over text and very accommodating - he came within minutes to take care of a small issue we were having (not being able to find one particular switch). And at the end, when we forgot one of our tablet chargers, he texted us to let us know, and mailed it within a day or two.
Couldn't have hoped for a better experience.
