I have stayed in a lot of units in this area and this unit I would have to say you would have to take the good with the bad. It' a great unit with very comfortable beds which is sometimes hard to score. Very pet friendly and the hot tub was amazing! The bad was it was not cleaned well and it would probably be a little more appropriate to change out a moldy shower curtain for guests. I did message for a working can opener and dish soap and the response was so quick to help!

We had a great time and the location worked so well for such a large family. The home gave plenty of room for our two families of 11 total. We were even offered an earlier check-in which worked great for us! The place had everything we needed! Would stay again

It was a clean and safe environment. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and grill.Our host was quick to respond to our messages and took care of a minor incident. I would say the only thing that would be an improvement is for the city to have sidewalks. We had to walk on the street to get to beach access.
