Comfortable and very clean. we experienced one problem with the power, we had difficulty with the meter box switches,we are older people our fingers do not have the strength to push some switches into position. The folder in the house does state this, we were frightened we would do damage if we pushed too hard. We contacted the property owner who was extremely helpful even though she was trying to get to a meeting. the problem was soon solved so a big thank you for her patience with us also for calling us later to see if we were okay.

Very disappointed
Falsely listed as 2 bathrooms and a short walk to the beach. There was only 1 bathroom and we didn’t consider 12 mins. to a view of the beach very accurate. Very old house with old furnishings.
