Great location

The location and beach are perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there even though it was very windy much of the time. House is adequately updated, comfortable & sufficiently furnished. Needs some minor repairs that we brought to attention of property manager after departure. They responded promptly to a minor request while we were there so we feel these issues will also be promptly addressed.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Horrible furnishings but amazing view

Bathroom tub wouldn’t drain and we had to stand in ankle deep water while showering, headboard wasn’t attached to the bed frame or wall and the headboard kept falling on our heads, both chairs in the living room was broken and could not be used, the couch looked like it came from someone’s dump, beds were hard as a rock, washer would only hold one outfit at a time and took two hours to dry, but outside porch was nice and our view was amazing. I would stay here again just for the view of the ocean but only after the living room furniture was replaced and bath tub drain fixed.
