I echo everything previous guests have said. You are paying for the view and outside entertainment area which is excellent. I found Francis to be very helpful and did not mind him being around. If you don't want him there... i am sure you can tell him and he wont be.
The furnishings are dated and not really my style, but everything was functional. Bathrooms could do with a refurb... but again.. clean and functional. Its a perfect little beach house on the beach for a couple or entertaining a few friends and family. I would recommend.
