This house is not appropriate for 18 people. Should be listed for a group of at most 10. The yard is completely unkept. No chairs or tables or anything resembling an outdoor area. The ‘grill’ is literally as big as the one my kids had as part of their play kitchen. There is no dining room table. There are 8 stools around an island. Uncomfortable stools. NONE of the windows open. Don’t touch the blinds to try- they are SCUM-MEEE. A member of our group got stuck in the upstairs bathroom because the door knob didn’t work. The door to the toilet in that bathroom falls off the track when trying to close for privacy. The front door swelled so bad from the humidity it became difficult to open and close. The downstairs toilet overflowed. Dont try to wash dishes, clothes, shower, or brush teeth at remotely the same time. Apparently there’s only so much water in the house. When we called for assistance, the office was responsive - they brought us extra chairs for outside - 3 - that were filthy but we appreciated the effort. Also were quick at getting us a mop after the overflow. The decking is atrocious and rotting and quite frankly a danger to anyone wearing shoes or just not looking where they are going. Bring a cutting board and some sharp knives. Oh, and the wi-fi doesn’t work. If you plan on cooking or grilling - for 18 - there’s no 2nd rack in the oven so you can only cook one tray of food at a time.
The interior was clean. Obviously recently renovated. Cool light fixtures. Enough silverware and utensils. Fridge was standard size and also clean. Beds were made. Lots of restaurants nearby. About a blocks walk to the beach. A plane goes over head every 15-20 minutes which is either awesome or annoying depending on your vibe. There’s a 7-11 within walking distance. The ice machine worked which was very exciting. The back space area was not occupied by other people at the time so we were able to use the communal fire pit but again, the grounds themselves are unkept so not an inviting environment.
If you want to be close-ish to the beach, have a party of 10 or less, and just need somewhere to sleep, this is the place for you.
