We had a great time at this house. The location and exterior features were perfect for us. There was ample comfortable seating and multiple opportunities for relaxation as well as activities such as fishing and paddle-boarding, while also being conveniently located near enough to beach access. The interior is spacious, and we found it to be clean, however it's been well loved and in need of some TLC, including some repairs, updates, and the fire alarm needs to be replaced. We found the hosts to be quickly responsive and friendly. My group and I would love to return to this house in the future.
