Good with the bad
We enjoyed it! We had to complain about sewer line dripping on the stairs and down the side of the house. The draining of sinks and bathtubs was extremely slow, and the a/c needs updated. Other than that, the view was beautiful and perfect spot to watch the fireworks! I have a fractured foot and going up and down was not fun, but beyond thankful that the house isn't 3 or 4 flights up. House was comfortable, homey feel, and liked the layout of it. I would book again for sure hands down! Just a couple hours of maintenance and perfect!

Great Location and View
This house is in a great location with beach access. It is very spacious with ample sleeping room. The king-size beds are a plus and were very comfortable. The deck has a nice view of the ocean. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is that it needs some painting and updating. Some of the furniture is worn and needs replacing. The area rugs need to be cleaned or replaced. I like that the linen came packaged so that you knew it had been cleaned. Overall this a good beach house.
