This house was perfect!
Condition: The house was very clean. It was well updated (inside and out) and well decorated. The beds were very comfortable.
Kitchen: The kitchen was very well stocked. Lots of pots/pans, a crock pot, cutting boards, spatulas. Everything you need for preparing meals for the week.
The ice machine was an awesome addition! It saved us on having to run out to get ice all the time.
Beach Access: Just a few steps from the deck and you had your own beach area. During our stay, no one was on either side. One note - due to the dune you can't see the beach directly in front of the house. You can see the ocean no problem, just if you went up to the house, you couldn't see the kids still on the beach.
Linens: Loved the extra blankets! Each room had extra blankets that came in handy. Plenty of towels. So many rentals end up not having enough towels (bath and kitchen). No one had to fight over towels as there were plenty. There was even beach towels!
Extras: Lots of beach toys (we left ours as well), a beach cart, boogie boards. A nice outside shower to rince the sand off.
This was a wonderful house directly on the beach and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation. Would love to stay again.
