House was exactly as seen pictures. House was clean and more than adequate for me and my husband's week long stay. Host was excellent to work with!

The only thing that was bad were the super cheap soft plastic plates.
The only thing that was bad were the super cheap soft plastic plates. Things that would be nice 25 min from the beach: beach chairs/umbrella. Grill would be nice as well.
