Disliked: Cleanliness
Toilet in main bathroom tilts to the right. Floor throughout house is warped and boards have big gaps in them. Something is dripping off side of the house making water puddles all under the house. Didn’t see outdoor shower. Table in front bedroom is about to fall down. Dishwasher isn’t connected to counter. Washing machine difficult to operate due to delay. Bed layout is strange with king size bed in same room with 4 double bunk beds and en-suite.

First vacation in 18 years!

The home was clean and close to the beach. The neighborhood was very nice. Everyone was friendly. The house was worth the price paid. As mentioned, it was clean and had all the things we needed for a week stay. I thought the bed was great. My wife felt it was too firm. Some of the lights did not work. The A/C was wonderful. The washing machine only put out hot water. There was plenty of hot water for showers and baths. The coffee left for us was very good and we had enough for the week. We were there on a bird watching trip and there were many different species there at the house to see. The grill was fine. If you are looking for some fancy pants place to stay this is not it. It was however, an honest home that was fine for the week. We were gone most of each day anyway. As a couple there was plenty of room. I would not want to stay there with 10 people however. We would stay here again.
