Check in was very easy. Was able to check in a few hours early which was awesome! The location is amazing and the view from the deck is fantastic. The house in general is need of some major TLC. It needs updating and just general fixing honestly. The deck boards going out to the beach are not attached to anything and are dangerously close to someone falling through! Make sure you stay on the one side that’s screwed down! Some doors won’t open, some drawers almost fall out, not huge things just an older home needing some care. However that being said I would definitely stay here again. For the price and location you can’t beat it. The description is also lacking some info as far as: there IS a washer and dryer and there IS toys and umbrellas etc.
