Most of our needs were met by this rental. We could have used a spare blanket or two and some sort of kitchen wrap, plastic or foil. Also I inquired as to what type of coffee maker was provided and was told both kinds. I packed cone and drip filters. Both kinds equals drip and kuerig of which none were provided. This home is second row so instead of hearing the surf you hear the cars. For March that was fine.

I would describe this property as OK to good. It has a lot going for it and the overall experience was good. T\You can see the ocean across the road and there is beach access only 4 minute walk away. Host was nice and responsive. Place was clean and location was excellent. The "just OK" comes just from it being a little worn and some amenities being just...not quite adequate. For instance, there were pans in the kitchen but they were so old the non-stick surface was destroyed and we really didn't want to use them - one had rust on the bottom. There were only like 2 bowls even though there were plenty of other plates, etc., so just things that could be easily fixed for almost no money, so...why not? There were other signs of a place just kind of worn out - rot around the windows, etc. But let me be clear...It was a fine place to stay for the most part. NO big complaints, but just...OK by today's standards.
