First impression as you walk in the front door is not great; soiled carpet, dirty floor, shelves loaded with knick knacks that needed dusting...but if you know YB, and what an awesome location this is, NONE of that mattered!The living/dining area is small for a house that sleeps 12, and the kitchen was not great...but we were there for the beach and this location cannot be beat. I loved the rustic bedrooms and the layout of the 2nd and 3rd floors. The steps are steep, but manageable. If you have a toddler or small children who need the bathroom at night, it may be an issue.Bathrooms back to back on first floor was not an issue for us either.We rented linens and that worked out perfectly. The bedrooms are adorable.Best part of the house is that porch. We spent our family time there and at the beach, which was so close.Family owners/occupants on both sides were sweet and welcoming.The pro's far outweigh the cons on this house. We look forward to staying there again.

The location is perfect - right across the street from the beach! My knees did not like the steep stairs and the dishwasher didn't work but everything else was great: pet friendly, grilling on the deck, beach supplies, fully-stocked kitchen and clean linens in all of the rooms. Our family really enjoyed our stay and time together at the house and the dog loved his walks on the beach after dinner. Thank you very much!

The location was exceptional! The neighbors were friendly. The house was quaint as it seems to be one of the original homes on the beach that has had some recent updates to the 1st floor, the stairs were steep and the bathrooms were both on the 1st floor which took some getting used to but this comes an older home. Plenty of rooms for everyone to stay, new & clean linens in all rooms, fully stocked kitchen, new grill & washer & dryer. Was a great stay & would stay again. Thank you

Can't beat the location!! The floor plan helped, but it may be helpful to inform guests that all bathrooms are on the main floor and the stairs up to the bedrooms are very steep. We had some difficulty with the dishwasher but responsiveness from host was immediate. There was not much food storage space, we ended up moving some food prep/storage supplies to accommodate our dry food. Our family enjoyed our stay and our time together at the house!
