The host was out of town, so I cannot comment on her. The place is fine, except for the upstairs. If you're tall, you have to duck down in the hallway to get to the bedrooms, and the bathroom is downstairs. There was also a dog on the property which always barked every time when I opened my door (not sure if it lives there). There is a great beach just down the street. Nice place overall, with 2 small annoyances.
