Overall the place was lovely. We had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable. The entire place was just comfy and felt inviting. Didn't have an issue at all. There was more than enough kitchen tools available and the space was huge for our little family. thank you so much, we loved it.

Great property, nicely finished. Close to the beach, walking trails right down from home and a great park within walking distance for the kids. Dogs are welcome so can tske entire family. All you need to cook at home. Great firepit for making smores with forks and firewood on hand to use. I would recommend this property for anyone wanting a nice home away from home experience.
