We stayed at this house for 17 days in April 2017 Pros: -Nice location: <3 miles to the beach, close drive to the airport -Owners were easy to reach (there was only 1-2 days during out 17 day stay where they didn't respond right away) -Beautiful backyard -Cozy, homey feel to the house -Mostly quiet neighborhood (it only gets a little noisy in the backyard during the afternoon due to children playing in the playground across the backyard wall) -Amply equipped with all the needed supplies for a relaxing stay: towels, beach equipment, kitchen essentials Cons: -Had plumbing issues during one day of our stay (the issue was diligently handled by the owners + we got a refund for that day) -One of the doors to the bathroom was difficult to close properly (not a big deal as this is a quick fix)

The home was as depicted in the photos, clean, roomy, well equipped with a few exceptions. No microwave oven or outdoor grill did limit our cooking options, we are avid grill people! Purchased a weber grill and donated it when we left. The hot tub unfortunately was not usable, jets spraying all over. Had no heat the first 2-1/2 days, compromised several evening with repair men there, however this isn't a reflection on the home, things happen. Would have liked to have access to the garage. The yard is truly a garden! Beautiful...covered fire pit very nice.

Positives: clean, two comfortable beds, beautiful garden area, kitchen adequately supplied for four people (see issue regarding microwave below) Concerns: * owner not available by phone or email until three days after we had been there - finally got a response after we left stating that they did not have access to wifi - no response to why they did not respond to my phone call - no local person to contact * owner states that she left a list of instructions on a bulletin board off the kitchen - none of the four adults staying there found it and we looked high and low * you cannot park on the street with out a parking permit that needs to be filled out by the owner - we found the permits but none were filled out - we had to ask a neighbor for help * bunkbeds would be great for kids, but not for adults * hot tub: nice to have, but had leaves on the bottom and gunk all over the bottom filter - wondered when it had last been cleaned * NO MICROWAVE -- owner says she states that in the description, but all she states is that it is a fully equipped kitchen - in our minds that mean a microwave - had to go buy one as one of our party had dietary issues and brought his own frozen food * lights in the dining room did not work - we had to go out and buy a battery for it * Lights in the back bedroom flickered for 30 minutes after we turned it off - made us wonder if there was an electrical problem I have advised the owners of these concerns and hope that they correct them for the next renters.
