The host was very communicative and responsive. This was a work trip with two families and we booked it quite a few months ago. The listing and listing photos showed beach access with the ability to walk out and swim at the ocean. Unfortunately, when we got there, that was not the case. The host claimed that she disclosed it in the listing, but unfortunately it was disclosed after I booked, and before I checked in with no notification to me. I never assumed that I would need to go back and review a listing to make sure the condition of the home did not change before I checked in. We did have Internet issues, and even though she claims she never had anyone complained about it, the guest book shows otherwise. Also parking is impossible if you have anything other than a compact car which again you are notified at time of check-in but not before. At one point, we ended up parking 10 blocks away with two small children. The berm with access to the beach is so tall you cannot see the ocean at all when sitting on the porch swing. You can see it minimally from the living room and kitchen and there is machinery that drives by multiple times a day. One day we counted 20 passes. She did offered to refund us completely if we found another place to stay, but unfortunately, we could not find another place to stay. If the reason you book this is to be able to walk out on the beach and immediately access the water, this is not the place for you. If that is not priority, then it’s great!
