Easy to walk everywhere, also near trolley stops. It is a quick and easy walk to an uncrowded section of the beach.
Pool is smaller than it looks in the photos, but a great place to relax. We used the pool more than the beach. It was great that half was under cover and half was open, so we could be in our out of the sun depending on our mood.
The house has a great layout for any group. Lots of windows, very bright. Rooms were large and bathrooms as well. Every room has their own bath and then a half bath in the living area. Very nicely decorated, you can tell they put a lot of thought into it.
Cons:
Check in at 5pm and check out at 10am is tough, you’ve lost almost a full day that you’re paid for. I know this is a large house, but I paid $515 for a cleaning fee, that should allow enough people to be hired to clean the house for a shorter window of 11am/4pm. Also, for the cost, they definitely skimped on supplying basic necessities. One small roll of toilet paper per bath, one roll of paper towels, 2 dishwasher tabs, no laundry detergent, no beach chairs or beach towels. We know this is a short term rental and they don’t supply everything, but I’ve stayed in cheaper places that supplied more. Especially beach chairs and beach towels for a house a block from the beach.
These cons wouldn’t stop me from renting this place again, as it was amazing and it totally deserves the 5 stars that I’m giving it. It would just be an inexpensive way to provide goodwill to guests.
