Overall, we had an OK time at this rental. But our stay did not meet our expectations.
The house is laid out really weird (which isn't fixable of course). There are three levels, king bed on the top floor, living spaces (living room, kitchen, half bath, patio) on the 2nd floor, bedrooms and full bathroom on the bottom floor. And having only one shower was a pretty big inconvenience.
While I think it would qualify as "updated," I would not say it was done well. It just looked like it was done by an inexperienced DIYer.
We did have a few minor issues upon check-in, but they were eventually resolved.
We rented a "beach wagon" from the host prior to check in. It was not there when we got there; but was delivered within two hours. Unfortunately that wagon was broken. We got a replacement for the broken wagon the next morning as well as a refund on our cost. My main complaint with the wagon, however, is that I would NOT call it a beach wagon. The wheels are tiny and it is absolutely unusable in the sand. While it was nice to have it to get our things to the edge of the beach, it was more work getting it down through the sand than it was worth.
One very nice thing about the home was how close it was to dog beach. Just a few minutes walk! And just a few minutes more gets you to the human beach too.
Overall, we will probably never rent this home again. It was acceptable, but not repeatable.
