We needed somewhere to stay for a wedding nearby. It was December but we did walk down to the beach, great location if you want to stay within an easy walk to the beach. The host was very responsive to all questions asked. She went above and beyond driving to the house from her home to help us with a heating issue that was entirely our fault (turned off the main switch accidentally). She and her husband were extremely nice. The house itself is beautiful and has a lot of character. We had myself, my husband, 2 teens, and my mother. It was so nice to spread out throughout 3 bedrooms and have the downstairs space instead of being crowded in one hotel room.
