We had a glitch with code to get in… but that was resolved within 10 minutes. Quiet neighborhood location with a short drive to beach. We were pleased to have AC in the house. Unfortunately I had planned on Bbq for our dinners and quickly realized that there was not a Bbq at this rental. Overall we were pleased with our accommodations!
