We spent two months in the apartment. The view is beautiful and the sound of the waves very soothing. The location is convenient to the North Shore with a pretty beach and good swimming just a short walk up the beach. Unfortunately, we found the apartment surprisingly dirty when we arrived, with sand and grit on the dirty floor, dirty carpet in the bedroom, and bathrooms that were not very clean. The apartment is nice but, especially at the price, could use maintenance: the coffee maker and toaster are not in good shape; the mattresses are noisy, perhaps because the springs are rusty; the hall lamp is missing a glass dome; the shoji screens are torn; and one of the vent windows on the beach side will not close. Also, the local agent was largely unresponsive. Since we were there for two months, we wanted a key to the mailbox but we never got one.
