Our stay was okay. We loved the walkable area, beach, view from the front yard and access to area attractions. The house smelled mildewy when we arrived. We opened windows and turned on ceiling fans which seemed to help. The pillows smelled very bad. We sis switch out with the spare pillows which did help. We would return if the smell was cared for.
