Amazing view and location! You can hear the waves inside the house. The beach view is gorgeous. We could watch the surfers. The inside is “meh”. It’s functional. The beds are comfy and the water is hot. Everything looks like it’s from the 1980’s. The kitchen needs some cleaning in the under-sink area and the drawers to get some of the old smells out.

A fantastic location. Has everything they say they do. We had a very special time. I'd live there is I could.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2022
Property is definitely dated and doesn’t feel clean as carpet, upholstery and linens are terribly stained and worn.
Needs more towels, especially since there are no laundry facilities. We were given 2 dish towels, one really worn hot pad, no oven mitts, etc. Cutting boards were so awful, we didn’t use them. Toaster oven didn’t work. Hair dryer didn’t work. Light bulbs were burned out.
The view was amazing but given the price, we expected higher quality.
