The house is well-suited for a family and group. Plenty of space and great access to the beach. The deck is glorious for morning coffee and afternoon relaxing. We all loved being so close to the beach.
Unfortunately we had two issues during our weekend stay. While the owner was very responsive, it was a letdown that we had the issues at all - both of which could have been alleviated if routine maintenance was done. When we arrived at 4pm on Friday (the set check-in time), the housekeeper was still finishing up and told us there was no water. The owner was called and came quickly. It was determined that the water filters needed to be changed. Once that was done and we settled in, we realized that the second floor was 80' - the AC was not working. We called the owner and again she was responsive and found an AC person who came at 8pm and was there for over an hour. It was not draining, he got it drained and we had AC. The next day the system stopped working again. We went back and forth with the owner who was having trouble finding someone on a Saturday. She found someone - we had another repairman there again that evening. I missed the family time at the beach because I was with the AC technician. In the meantime, we had done some work to get it draining.
With check-in at 4pm on Friday and checkout at 10am on Sunday, the hours we spend with repairman, cut into our time to relax. The owner did extend a 1pm check-out, but only because we asked.
My recommendation is to take the time for regular maintenance - replacing filters, AC tune-ups. The property is fabulous, but our experience was diminished by having to manage TWO maintenance issues.
