Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Checkin was easy. Location is great! Quiet neighborhood and bay across the street. Like others said - the house is a bit dated. Carpet in a beach house (dog friendly house) is weird but we brought dog gates and blocked off carpeted areas to be safe. Downstairs shower is dated and made for short people. However the main bedroom upstairs is fabulous with a balcony and the downstairs sitting room with view of the bay is beautiful! Kitchen dated but well stocked and usable. I’d recommend this place for a 3BR!

Great location

This house is in a great location with beautiful views. It rained all week so we didn’t get to take full advantage of the beach. The house is dated and could use some upgrades but the location is the best and it was clean.
