Overall, this was a nice house to stay in for a vacation at the beach. It is in fair proximity to restaurants and shops. The walk to the beach via the private walkway is short, with nice ocean views from the balcony. The furniture was adequate for a sizable group. The mattress in the master bedroom (all of the bedrooms, for that matter) are hands-down the best I've ever encountered in a vacation home. I dare say that the master mattress was better than what I have at home! The bathrooms were large, and provided plenty of space to get cleaned up and for toiletries. The wireless internet worked flawlessly as well (which is not true in all houses). There are only a couple of negatives that I would mention, which can likely be remedied easily. 1) Though there are plenty of pots and pans, there are not very many kitchen utensils (one spatula, and one melted whisk), for those who like to cook during vacation. 2) There was a small pest problem in the master bathroom. Only a couple of pests were spotted in the shower at night (where it's dark and damp), and none in the kitchen. An exterminator can likely take care of this problem quickly. Though it was cool, we did want to get in the pool with floats. However, the pool hadn't been serviced in a while and there was lots of sand, silt, grime on the surface, and large palm leaves in the water. No one came out to service the pool, though a call was made (or if they did, they didn't clean these things). Overall, it is a nice house. With a little service, it would be perfect!
