The place was clean and welcoming after having traveled all day. The roomy fenced yard/field area where dogs can roam was very overgrown. We didn't have pets with us, but I would wonder about ticks if I'd brought my dog or one getting lost in the weeds if it was a small breed. Would have been nice to have some beach towels to use instead of just the small white shower towels. Biggest issue is the upstairs bathroom. Other reviews complain of a clogged shower drain. The drain worked fine, however the shower design/construction is such that all the water comes out the bottom of the shower door onto the bathroom floor. It's obviously happened over a period of time as the wood floor has swelled so much that you can't shut the bathroom door. It was unusable to shower in, and there were 5 of us left to use one shower. Also, the TV is only really there to play DVD's (of which there were only sequels haha), but at least the downstairs one was not hooked up to anything, nor were there the proper cables to connect it all up. 2 minute walk to a beach is a little misleading...the property is up very high..it's gorgeous..but it gains elevation quickly so walking back would be a trek in an of itself. It's also not a beach right across the road you have to go north
