We splurged for this and it was better than ok, but not great; it was good. We definitely enjoyed the hot tub on a rainy day. We enjoyed the abundance of local wildlife. We enjoyed the quiet and the outdoor amenities.
I don’t have anything to compare it to to determine if this was as good as it gets or not, but it felt like it could get better for as much as we spent. Don’t get me wrong, the view is magnificent and the privacy of having your own house, driveway, and land was above none other, but the space seemed a little dated.
There are 3 areas inside: the main area, the bathroom, and the bedroom. The bedroom was fine. The main inside area was unusable during the day because of no air conditioning and presumably low R-value picture windows. The bathroom sink had virtually no counter space, which was mildly inconvenient. The shower was very nice with dual heads and direct access to the exterior.
The walk to the beach was a mess and not something we enjoyed doing.
I would give it another chance for a special occasion, but I would have lower expectations this time.
