Needs updating

Few issues with this property, the back door was unlocked when we arrived, both bathroom sinks drain VERY slowly and pictures show closet door in bunk room but it is missing. Positive for this house is location, walking distance to everything.

Sweet spot!

Only 3 blocks to the beach! GREAT - location, yard, neighborhood, parking, water pressure and very spacious. A starter supply of one roll of TP, paper towels, 2 packets of dishwasher det. and one garbage bag was all that was supplied. Suggest brining or buying anything additional needed including liquid dish soap.

We enjoyed our stay. House met all of our needs. Kids loved the back screened in deck. Super close to all the down town shops and public beach areas. I only gave 4 stars on cleanliness because I had to mop when we arrived. We will definitely consider staying again.
