Four bikes
Home is located in a quiet, great neighborhood. The host was very helpful with advice and ensuring we had access to what we needed. The four bikes are a great bonus to the home to ensure easy access to the community beach, shopping, and restaurants. We would stay here again.

Relaxing week...
We enjoyed a very nice, quiet week here. Very well stocked, organized, clean, beautiful home...beautifully decorated and with great attention to detail. The owners thought of everything...I'm used to having to bring extra paper towels, salt and pepper and TP to most HHI rentals...but this home had everything down to labeled spices, spare dog bowls, dishwasher detergent and dryer sheets. One thing to note...if our college kid had been with us, there would've been a fight over the remote. There's only one TV. For us and our bookworm daughter, that wasn't a problem; but traveling with a few others, it might've been an issue...just make sure to bring laptops or other devices to stream. We had a wonderful, quiet off-season week filled with long dog walks and lots of fetching on the beach with out two labs, and quiet evenings reading out by the fire pit. Hope to be back...
