The time and ease to get to the beach was great. The king size bed was comfortable but the queen was to hard. The appliances and air conditioning worked well. Some of the pots and pans need upgrades (especially cookie sheets). Overall we had a great time.

We had a great time on our recent visit. The fenced in yard was even better than expected, which worked really well for us as we were traveling with our dog. The house is very comfortable and close to the beach, and the overseer was really responsive to any concerns we had during our stay. We plan to return
