Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Great location in Empire. The place was very cozy and great for a family. Our son loved trying the bunk bed! We didn’t use the backyard as we were exhausted but a great set up for fires out back. Walkable to the beach as well. Not a ton of food options in Empire and a few places were cash only. Also the parking is in front on the easement instead of any side driveway - but the neighbor was very friendly to help point that out!
