I almost didn't leave a review as we did not finish out our stay.1st the issues I had with the home, won't be issues for everyone, the owner was quite nice & very fair in helping us cancel our reservation after arriving. However, cancelling our week long stay & finding new accommodations weren't in our plans & I imagine they aren't in others either.This IS a stand alone home, on a large lot, located in a safe area, practically right across from the beach. The owner has taken efforts w/ the property, has a beautiful yard w/various flowers, bushes, fruit trees & other treasures. She is at least, on site daily, from my understanding to water the areas the sprinkler system doesn't reach.The home itself is much as listed, 3 br, 2 ba, full kitchen w washer dryer. However, the back areas of the home have been blocked off & repurposed. The owner said it was an office area that she occasionally uses overnight, but does not live there. She had stayed the night we arrived, because we arrived late night/early AM. The front door is the only entrance/exit to & from the home. All of the back areas & doors have been blocked & have signs that say no exit, that the doors do not open. Some of the doors are visible in the listing, without these signs on them, & some of them are open so I presume the pics shown were taken before it was changed. The thermostat to control part of the AC is in the other part of the home. We were w/out AC our 1st night. It was clean enough, but the bathrooms weren't
