Multi-family fun
Great view. Easy access to the beach. Two refrigerators! Plenty of hooks for towels and bathing suits. Great chairs on the covered porch made it a favorite spot to watch the sunrise, the birds, the waves, the people, etc. Inside it was warmer upstairs than down, but that could be helped with some dark curtains. Other minor issues: missing batteries in the remotes, very little lighting under the house, and no oven mitts. Bathrooms are a little tight.

YOU HAVE TO BUY YOUR OWN Drinking WATER
We had a fantastic stay at this beach house, it was clean, very well loved (some wear here and there) but perfect for our family vacation. They however do not have in this listing that the water is unsafe to drink and cook with. It was a big hassle to buy and bring in loads of water. It was not a deal breaker, but definitely something I wish they had put in the listing so I knew what we were getting into.

Perfect location but house needs TLC
The views and location were amazing! The house however needs a lot of TLC! The toilets were from 1980 and were literally about 10 inches off the ground; the dining table only sat 6 people and of that 1 of the chairs was broken; the dryer does not work; it would have been nice to have an outdoor shower instead of a hose that only turned on when it was all the way to hot (burning your skin); and the house was just really run down! Peeling paint, filthy stained toilets, crappy appliances and just a general lack of effort put into maintaining this house. I would not have really said anything but at almost $1500 a night to stay there between fees and cleaning, this house should have been WAY better taken care of! With that said, it WAS all clean, bed sheets were clean and soft and it did not smell. Lots of space to run around and great views…. Just wish they put a little more love into maintaining this home!

This house needs work
The house looked as if it has been abandoned. No one took the time to paint/fix the imperfections before renting out.
