8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
Great house/location Not well stocked for 14 people-lacking silverware and glassware and outdoor seating. Master bath was hugeOther bathrooms were very tight/smallNo beach chairs at the house. No toilet paper or soap in bathrooms, no paper towels/ trash bags/dish soap- we’ve stayed at numerous beach houses and usually there is at least a starter set for these thingsCheck in was confusing b/c we rented through VRBO but then had to work with rental agency and their communication was poor and confusing FYI Tide comes in very close to dunes so limited beach space at times
