Great time at this location!

We had a wonderful stay at this location, everything was as described in the photos and listing. Good location to the beach. Only suggestions were that the electric sockets in the 2 queen room were hard to get to, maybe bring an extension cord. Also downstairs bathroom door is one of those barn doors, it was hard to lock.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It rained several nights and the rain came in through the vents so there were wet spots all through the house.
