Pros:
- Host friendly and responsive
- Amazing view and location
- House was clean
- Sheets and towels included, most places in this area don't do this

Cons:
- Karaoke machine (major factor in our choosing this house) and Wii , which were in the listing, did not work
- TV is tiny and no DVD player
- Limited kitchen equipment - no glasses (only mugs), only one kitchen knife and chopping board, no baking trays/dishes, kettle did not work, no toaster, no spare tea towels, tons of chopsticks but hardly any spoons/forks

Overall the place was very nice and definitely appears 'lived in', with the owner's belongings about the place. This is not a bad thing in itself, but it felt like it wasn't really set up for guests, what with the lack of some basic facilities, and some other weird things around the house. E.g. the glass tabletop from the dining table was sitting in the ensuite bathroom? Strange, not to mention dangerous.

Not a bad stay overall but you do feel like you are intruding on someone's family beach house.
