The place was very nice and just a short walk to the beach! It does need some improvement as far as the dishes (there weren't many pots or pans) and the microwave wasn't working well. Overall communication with the host was great. Although I don't think it's very clear that there is either no AC or it just doesn't work. Also, there was no propane for the gas grill. We would stay here again though, just needs a little update!

We had a lovely time at this house. Really enjoyed the beach for the kids! We all had plenty of space for sleeping and the location is awesome. We appreciated the wide array of fans in the closets to help keep it cool.
