The property is very dated and in need of upgrades. The location is great and the access to the beach down the stairs is good, and the house heats up quickly and the beds are comfortable. But, the actual property needs lots of TLC. They need hooks and towel bars in the bathroom, the end of the faucet handle kept falling off, the bath fan won't work without the heater so it gets really hot in there, lights were burned out (over the stove top, over the upstairs bar area, and the outside stairs); the vinyl slat blinds are hard to operate and the slats kept falling out; the top panel of one fell on my head when I was trying to open it. There were no large knives to chop with, no salt (I don't expect much at a rental, but there is usually salt and pepper), no instructions for operating TV's, recycling, garbage. A coffee grinder would be nice. There were also no sheets supplied for one of the Murphy beds.
The house has a wierd layout. The best view of the beach is upstairs which is also where the two Murphy beds are. So, you always feel like you're in someones bedroom if your up there hanging out. The kids pretty much used this area, and the adults stayed in the kitchen.
The downstairs where the kitchen is feels cramped and dark with only two corner windows in the living area with room for one chair to view the beach. The kitchen eating area has a view from the sliding glass door, but it is cramped.
The listing says it has cable, but we were unable to get any main TV channels. Finally I called to ask for help and they sent a guy who was very nice, but said there was no cable. You can stream if you have the aps I guess. But there were no instructions to help us figure it out.
There was only one garbage bag under the sink and quarters for one load of wash and dryer (we were there with 8 people for 5 nights). So bring your extra quarters
All in All, for the price it's OK, close to the beach, and it was very convenient to other members of our family in other houses. But I wouldn't stay there again.
