The house is overall really great, and the location can’t be beat, honestly! It was also really clean and they had most of the things that you could really need (shampoo/conditioner, soap, cooking supplies and basic ingredients, towels, beach stuff… the list goes on). There were a couple minor things that didn’t feel like a 5 star experience though- while the upstairs suite was amazing, downstairs the layout was, at times, awkward. One bedroom is located essentially IN the garage, and you had to walk through the hot garage to get inside the house (and use the restroom, which is shared with the 2 other rooms downstairs). Importantly, the venting for the washer/dryer accumulates fumes in the garage, which then go into this bedroom- my sister-in-law was getting headaches at night until we realized it was from fumes!! Not safe! Also, the downstairs bathroom has ONLY an outdoor shower (no shower/bath inside), so while it is magical to us (we loved it) I could see some people not liking this- it was also a lot sharing this one limited bathroom with everyone in the 3 bedrooms downstairs. Last, this bathroom had a plumbing issue where the ENTIRE STAY (nearly a week) there was a constant squealing from the water pressure in the toilet. I messaged the host and they said they would get a plumber out, but that never happened (they just stopped communicating after an initial message and a missed call). I also got the impression they wanted us to stay for the plumber to come- why would we spend OUR vacation time helping fix THEIR house? We wanted to be at the beach, not fixing houses, or we’d have stayed home and fixed our own.
Overall, good stay, and great house, but just some minor quirks to look out for (as with any stay).
