A great place to make beach holidays (in late October, it was too windy & cold to make beach holiday, but that is not a problem of the host, indeed) as it is just a few two hundred meters from the beach 😀. However, what I loved, was the patio which shielded off the strong winds so that I could still enjoy the sun 🌞. For the coffee maker: turn it on and wait until it is warm (patience!), then push the button for the cup (an italian speaking neighbour was asking me how it works)... .
