The property was as described. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were lots of places to eat, and grocery stores were nearby. THe beach is across the street, about a block away. The only hitch was that the door wouldn't open. The host helped us resolve the issue with the keypad.

The place was okay, floors were dirty, WiFi useless, and the property manager was impossible to get ahold of. They only provided one cheap garbage bag that was worse than a dollar general shopping bag. Overall nice stay though and good location. AC worked and there were beds which was all that was needed I suppose.

We had a very nice stay. The house was great. We are in our 70s so the stairs were a little hard to navigate. But we knew about them from the photos. The high table and stools were a little difficult as well. Overall it was great. The host was very helpful especially when we needed to add a couple of nights to our stay! Would definitely recommend it to others.
