The pics are accurate. The house was clean and beautiful. The beach truly is steps away and listening to the waves is theraputic as you drift off to sleep or are just waking up. Air-conditioning is only in 2 bedrooms and not in the rest of the house. It was hard to sleep even with sliding door open in master bedroom. It's a long drive to attractions, we spent a lot of time in the car driving to and from different places, but I like road-tripping so I didn't mind. All in all it was well worth the price for our 8 night stay.
