8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
Great place and amazing location. Quick walk to the beach, and secluded from the weather by a sand dune. Quiet, and the place looked very freshly redone. New paint, appliances, linens, and some furniture. It was an excellent weekend. My only problem is that this place is listed as no pets. There is black pet hair everywhere and my family is allergic. We were congested all weekend. Also- communication with the host is terrible. Their check in email is perfect and has all the info you need, but if you have any other questions, it will take days and extra messages for them to respond to any other questions or concerns. I would recommend to all!
