Being right on the beach was amazing and the extra rooms fit our young adult/young married family well. The home is a reverse design with the kitchen and living on the top floor, which I did not pick up on when selecting the home. Not a deal breaker but this comes into play occasionally, especially grilling ( in a nice weber charcoal grill) two flights down. As other reviews have stated, this home is well stocked which does make this home very convenient! Loads of beach towels, several beach chairs, and a couple umbrellas. All the paper towels and tp needed for the week, hand soap at each sink, shampoos, and body wash, dishes and appliances. ( no box cheese grater, only zesters, so we did have zested cheese a couple times! ;) ) The kitchen area is tight, allowing only a couple people to cook or cleanup. The piggly wiggly on island is a very small but surprisingly well stocked grocery/gas station. If you need anything unusual for a recipe, make sure you bring it with you. We did rent bikes which was easy and fun. We did feel the home, particularly at a premium price, could have been cleaner. It needs an end of season detail cleaning, and maybe a light purging to clear extra tchotchkes and decor, thus the four not five star rating.
