This house was great for our family of 4. My children loved playing all the games that were provided. We enjoyed sitting out on the rocking chairs.

Wonderful home

Overall we were very happy with the amenities provided by the house! The bicycles, the shibumi, toys, boogie boards. It had everything you needed for the beach! The location was a short blocks walk away from the beach and very manageable. Especially since there was also a beach wagon at the house. It was very easy even with our small children. I will say I was disappointed with the cleaning done prior to our arrival. There was black pet hair dust bunnies everywhere and our dog is tan and doesn’t shed. The cloth fans also appeared to not have been cleaned in quite some time. The only other negative note was that the grill had very little to no propane left so we had about 100 worth of meat go bad while trying to cook dinner. I did let the property management know and they responded the next day. Compensation would have been an appreciated offer but there was none. Overall we would consider staying again.
