House was beautiful, residential location was quiet and convenient to walk to a few places to eat and to drive to many others. Beach was a 10 minute walk and walking trails nearby were great. 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms were great for my family of 5 adults. House had games and movies to use in the evenings and the kitchen was convenient and well-equipped. We didn't get to use the outdoor areas much as it rained but the bbq grill could have been handy.
Negative -
Heated pool was not working during our stay - although attempts were made to get it fixed, because it was over Christmas vacation, there was no one able to work on the pool and then when they did come out they couldn't get the parts before we left.
In the future if pool is not kept heated, you may want to check with guests before they arrive if they plan to use the pool and have it heated ahead of their arrival. If that had been done with us, you might have known the heater wasn't working and would have had time to get it fixed before the holidays. Even if it had been working, turning it on the 24th and taking so many hours to heat meant we still would do without it the first two days of our use of the house.
Also, listing said ocean view from balcony and while there was a "slight" view from upstairs master bedroom balcony, with trees it was not as large as the picture shows and small balcony that we wouldn't have used for ocean view. Ocean was within 10 minute walk so we saw it but not from the house as we had hoped.
Unfortunately as I already listed, the heated pool was not working for the entire 7 days we were there. We paid several hundred dollars more a night FOR the heated pool at this location over ocean views or other options because we wanted to relax in private. Although we did receive a reimbursement 1 night's fee for our inconvenience, this did not make up the difference that we paid for a heated pool vs. a similar house without a pool. Therefore the value was not great without this feature. I really don't have any thing negative to say about the house or the area - just make sure the pool is working before hand if that is important to you.
