We were in for a weekend event. We originally rented because of all the bathrooms due to all the family wedding prep. Once we arrived we quickly realized the premises far exceeded expectations. The views from the porch were incredible- we spent ALL of our downtime there. The layout inside was perfect! There were multiple living areas and it was easy to commune or get some quiet time also. Bedrooms were all big and everything in all rooms was A condition. Highly recommended!

The house had a fun layout for the kids. It had a decently stocked kitchen, so we were able to make some good meals. The proximity to the open space is really cool. It needs some work, though, so it didn’t feel like we truly got our money’s worth. The exterior looks a bit rundown. Lots of little things here are there that need repair. The air conditioners didn’t work, but thankfully they weren’t needed too much and were able to open windows to make it comfortable. The upstairs rooms need some A/C because the traffic noise from the location combined with having a closed door meant sleep was a bit spotty. Mattresses need some upgrading. The grill is in pretty rough shape.

The house is at an excellent location with beautiful view of the neighborhood and the ocean. You can also see the ocean while waking up in the morning from most of the rooms, which makes for a wonderful morning. The house itself is dated but quirky. It has a unique charm. It is also well stocked with everything you may need. There is plenty of space for to enjoy your stay with a bug group and not to feel cramped up or crowded. My group was 4 people so we had extra space.The house is also professionally cleaned for guests, and the hosts leave plenty of towels and basic hygiene supplies. The deck is big and spacious and almost wraps around the house- which was very nice. Lastly, the he communication with the hosts was excellent! They checked in daily via text message to ensure we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. I would personally return to this property.
