Overall, it was okay. Some caveats that we were not made aware of at the time of booking:
- There was a huge RV parked in the driveway which we had to squeeze between the fence and the RV (even for my 1st grader) which was very challenging to bring suitcases+ groceries, etc into the house for the entire week!
- There is no front door access
- The listing says ‘entire place’ but I found out during the check-in that the host Michael actually lives in the basement which is closed off and semi-private.
- There is no drapes or curtains on the main door (slide glass door, which is the only entrance) so at night, we had NO IDEA if anyone was looking into the house with the outdoor tea lights/patio lights out of commission.
- The host was very reachable and responsive but he seemed VERY BUSY overall and at some point felt like we were asking him for favors.
- The host was cool enough to let us borrow his personal beach chairs and umbrella.
- The outdoor deck area (pictured beautifully) was unusable after dark during our week long stay because all the lights were not working which the host was aware of prior to our arrival.
- He did provide us with alternative lights for us to hang up ourselves.
- There is a huge mosquito problem in the general area so bring repellents (candles)! The host does not have a solution for this so we had to fend for ourselves.
- If above are addressed I would recommend this place to any families as we were there to attend the surf camp.
