The house was just as pictured and was everything I hoped for. 10 mins from the beach and 15 mins from MI adventure. All things needed were provided and made traveling lighter for this stressed momma!!

The house itself was clean, well equipped, and nicely decorated. I think it would help to be more direct about the driveway. A large truck could not get through the space, and it didn't seem like anyone parked on the street overnight.

Needs new air system for proper cooling!
No air on 2nd floor, window sill air conditioner was on floor in a closet. Need to trim bushes in joint entry driveway as they surface scratched our car. And, neighborhood is a bit more than "ethnically diverse." It's sketchy and run down.
