Our weather week was not great so we were extra grateful to be staying in such a nice house so close to the beach. We were able to run back forth easily to take advantage of a few hours of better weather, and when it was raining we were able to spread out and take advantage of the amenities of the house. The house is as pictured, and well thought out. Kitchen well stocked for cooking and light baking, which did more of with the bad weather being. I will be suggesting a new toaster and adding a mixer. Bedrooms are roomy, bathrooms nice- especially upstairs shower, and the family/kitchen area is a great hangout spot for entire family.There was a bit more road noise than I expected in the highway 12 side bedrooms, but would only disrupt the most sensitive sleepers. So nice to have the towels and chairs available, and ability to login to our online streaming accounts. The views of the beach are great considering you are one back from oceanfront, and our only disappointment was that screened porch does not currently have screens. It hardly mattered this week but with nicer weather that may have played a greater role. We were not really able to take advantage of the outside amenities bc of excessive wind, but kids loved the volleyball court and we were able to use the hot tub once and very nice to have a real charcoal grill. Great location so close to grocery and restaurants. All in all, we had a great time at this house and would consider booking again.
