This small home was cozy and comfortable, though you might stress to management to do a better job of cleaning the floors. It was renovated probably a year or so ago, so the bathrooms and kitchen are modern and bright. We didn't complain about the cleaning since we were there in October during the pandemic, were mostly stay-at-home except for walks to the beach, and so didn't want cleaning service to come in while we were there. The beach is about 8 blocks away, so too far to schlep beach chairs etc., but off season it's easy to park on the street across from the beach public access point between two tall hotels. I was disappointed we couldn't use the fireplace—it should be noted in the description that it can't be used by guests. The grill was of great quality, and the kitchen was stocked well with decent pans and gadgets, for a rental. The coffee maker is a single-serve Keurig, so we bought a drip coffeepot and left it there. Though there are three good tvs, you need to be accustomed to using a smart tv in order to use the one in the living room effectively—the only one hooked up to broadcast cable; the others are only smart-tv driven (you need to bring your account info to use Netflix, for example). Having two seating areas was great—one for tv watchers, one for reading, and the furniture was all comfortable. Being on a waterway brought nature right up to the back deck, though the neighbors are all close by. Off season no one was there except across the waterway so it didn't matter so much. It rained a lot so we were indoors a lot, and the house was warm and cozy and yet spacious enough to accommodate five without going nuts. We were told to bring linens AND blankets and pillows, but there were good quilts and pillows in the closets. A block away is a western view of the open bay for glorious sunset watching.
