The place was great and in a convenient location for our needs. There was a heat wave when we were there and there was no A/C, but there was a central fan for the heating that could be used with the heat off, a couple of ceiling fans and free standing fans that made it bearable. I am told that no A/C is common in that area because the weather is typically milder.

We really enjoyed staying at this house. House was very nice and clean. Well appointed with items that we didnt even know about. Kitchen was stocked well. Eating places nearby was very helpful and grocery stores nearby also saved the day. Walking to the beach parks were nice in the evenings. The neighborhoods themselves were just nice to walk. Quiet place. Landscaper came on Monday, just as owners had told me but kept to himself and didnt come super early to wake us up. Showers were really nice. I was worried about no air conditioning but weather was fantastic, we could open windows, ceiling fan in master helped, and oscillating fans in other rooms were utilized. Washer and dryer was used everyday. We had a great vacation here.
