We had a wonderful time staying at this beach house. It was super convenient to be able to walk downstairs and be right on the water. It made it easy for the kids to play in the sand without needing to haul everything to the pier or public beach. The house was decorated like you see in the images and was weather worn as expected. The sheets and blankets were soft and the house was clean has some ants in the pantry however that will be an easy fix for the owner. I did however think the house offered the bare bare minimum vs a lot of other places we have stayed. It didn't have some of the house essentials that are needed. There was only 3 glass cups or coffee mugs provided nothing plastic or even a tall water glass. Only two dish towels so I was glad we were only there for a short period of time. The broom was extremely worn and didn't have a dust pan or vacuum which would have been nice while dealing with sand and also a 3 yr old. The kitchen garbage can was broken. If the owner would maybe invest another $100 in house essentials such as towels and cups I would have given it a 5 star rating. The washer and dryer weren't as accessible as the pictures may lead some to believe. The two window air conditioners kept the home cool and they did have basic cable and a smart tv along with Apple TV and a sound bar. I had read in some of the reviews about having trouble with people in their spot while trying to park but we arrived extremely late Thursday night and had no issues at all the entire stay. We met some people on the beach that were also renting from Valerie 2 doors down their unit did come with a few more goods such as sand toys and more home essentials for the same price. Communication with the host seemed fine nothing extra but nothing negative. I would rent the house again it was nice to be so close to the water. Even at night you can see the water come up under the house but there was plenty of sand to still play it was a nice experience.
