We never actually met melissa but she seemed very nice. The house was great, the view was amazing. The beach is literally steps away, and its also conveniently located near a grocery store and some local eating that is a must visit (Ted's bakery to name one). The property is a shared property with 3 places to stay, we stayed in house A which appeared to be the best of the 3 just based on where it sat on the property. There was a porch that faced the ocean plus a deck you could access with stairs to watch the sunset/waves roll in. There were a couple minor negatives for our stay - the bbq on the porch did not work well, one of the burners didn't work at all and the other 2 didn't get very hot. We brought a lot of meat to grill so we were a little disappointed... however we were able to cook in the kitchen so it worked out ok. Also there were only 2 rolls of toilet paper for our 7 day stay with 5 people, sorta disappointing but not the end of the world. All in all it was a great stay the kids enjoyed the beach just keep in mind the beach behind the house has some reef so you might want to walk about 5-7 min to get to a little clearer area. Would definitely recommend this home.
