Oceanview Retreat with Hot Tub

Oceanview Retreat with Hot Tub

8/10 Good
"Very nice location central to most things in the area. The house itself was very nice and the separation of the bedrooms gave everyone the feeling of separate privacy. The beds were all very comfortable. However, there were ants consistently in the master bathroom as well as the kitchen. I don’t feel for this amount of money that that should have been occurring. The sectional couch in the main living area was not connected - the three sections came apart, despite the men in our party trying to fix that. The couch split apart very easily - this was dangerous for my grandchildren and anyone else sitting on the couch. Again for this amount of money the home rents for, they should have a couch that’s all attached. Overall, we had a wonderful time, but I’m not sure I would select this location again for those reasons."
