It's just as listed, closed to beach, it has enough bedding for several people.Nicely arranged, patio is great. However, the house has your regular wear and tear, chairs/stools are stained, furniture scratched, you can definitely tell it's dog friendly from looking at the couches, not very clean. There was a blanket it smelled like dog, not sure if it was meant for people or dog. It has enough beds for a large family:however, ONE shower is not enough for large family. The outside shower helps and it's convenient, but the house next door (2 story house) has a camera directly above the outside shower, even though it seems to be facing the alley, it made it very uncomfortable.

Beds were comfy, walkable to the beach, and host communicated well. There are some tight spaces in this house just FYI. Steep and narrow stairs and downstairs bathroom feels like a broom closet turned into a bathroom but it was well cleaned and we enjoyed our time there (just my spouse and I)

Our favorite thing about this place was the location to the beach. Super quick walk. Less than 2 blocks. It was super nice that they provided a beach wagon and they had brand new beach chairs. The space was perfect for our family of four. The baby gates provided were great since we had a 1.5 year old with us. The grill outside would not ignite. We believe the ignition switch was broken but we texted Barbara and she offered to send someone over to check it out the next day. Was a bummer we couldn’t grill that night since we had bought stuff to grill. They provided starter toilet paper and paper towels which was plenty for us but they did not have a laundry pod like stated so we had to go buy laundry detergent. One thing to consider is that they are building a house next door and the construction started at 7:00 am on the dot and went to 9:00 pm most nights and they were loud and with the house being so close it felt like they were right outside our bedroom window. With this they also would drop or throw scraps into the homes backyard even while we were sitting out there. We probably picked up at least 30 pieces of metal to throw back over the fence so our children wouldn’t get hurt. I wouldn’t book here until construction was done next door but won’t hesitate to book again once that house next door is done. Instructions were very clear for everything and communication was quick.

Overall the house was okay. The stairs inside the house are extremely steep. Not a big deal if you are not taking small children or pets. The bottom landing where the stairs turn had no railing so if someone falls there is nothing to catch them. Our dog fell down the stairs and so did one of our children. This led us to use the baby gates in the upstairs closet to help keep them off of the stairs. However, the baby gate for the top of the stairs did not even connect all of the way and would swing open if you even breathed on it. There were two chairs to take to the beach which is fine but one of them is broken. The gas grill is also broken which again is not a big deal as long as you know that before going and buying groceries to cook out. It has propane but will not ignite. The combination lock on the back fence also does not work so plan accordingly when you return from the beach so you aren’t dragging sand through the house. The location is good but the neighborhood is not really what we expected.

This place was so awesome with a great location. We loved that we were able to bring our fur babies with us! There was plenty of beds for all of us (3 adults and 3kids). I only wish there was one more full bath but I do have to say even with everyone taking showers we never did run out of hot water. The backyard was awesome with the outdoor kitchen and plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I loved that it was a 6 foot fenced in backyard so we didn’t have to worry about our dogs getting out. Overall this place was great and we would definitely stay again!
