Pros and cons

Pros: great location, a couple blocks to the beach. The backyard is well landscaped, with a nice pool. Plenty of parking. It can sleep a lot of people - 17 comfortably- but there are only 3 rooms with closed-door privacy, if you're looking for that. There are two kitchens and an outside toilet, sink and shower. There are a lot of tvs, if you're looking for that. The espresso machines were fantastic! Beautifully decorated. The property manager, Jose, was very responsive and went above and beyond to get us a new highchair. I'm confident he'll be attentive to the issues. Cons: Some aspects of the place were a bit "tired" like the patio furniture, the couches and cabinets downstairs. It wasn't very well equipped- no dish towels, dishcloths, kleenex or paper towels. No beach towels or beach chairs, bring your own. Many outlets upstairs didn't work, and there was a playstation without a cord. Overall, we were glad we stayed and had a great time.

Great place

We had a great time! There 11 of us 7 sisters/brother/ and 2 friends. Plenty of room every where. We used the upstairs kitchen for all meals. The bottom kitchen we used for cocktails and munchies. A quick walk to the beach. Store-3 houses away, liquor store-across from the grocery store. We had trouble starting a few things(music, some lights) but jose(mgr) was prompt and very attentive. We will definitely be back! Thanks again for a great trip! Now back to Wisconsin for 6-10 inches of snow tomorrow!

Perfect Location of Home!

Loved the location of this home as it is centralized to everything especially the grocery store and lots of eateries! I’ve rented a bunch of VRBO’s and this place had the best pool area with lots of sitting for everyone and loved having two kitchens available for my large group of 12. I would like to see more towels, pot holders (only 1 for two kitchens) dish towels (only 1 for two kitchens). Bathrooms were incorrectly advertised on the VRBO front page, but Host said he would make it right with me and hopefully I will see a 1 night stay refund soon. The only other suggestion would be is to add non-skid on the outside steps to the upper level ….when they are wet they are slick!
