Check-in instructions were clear. However it was a bit challenging to find beach chairs or knowing which items could be borrowed.The location was close to the beach and the lodging was in a quiet neighborhood. The decor was cute. We did have to use the pull out bed and there wasn't a full set of sheets for this.
