This house is in a great location, very close to the beach and restaurants/shops. The yard of the property is lovely, well-landscaped, and comes equipped with a nice grill, table, umbrella & plenty of seating. The kitchen is also well-stocked with cookware and flatware. Spacious fridge and icemaker in the freezer. Access to nice washing machine/dryer in the garage. Plenty of space for parking. Pet friendly. The outdoor shower is great to have on a hot day. Steve was also flexible with our check-in/check-out time since there were no guests booked right before or after us.
Upon arrival, we were shocked to learn that there was no air conditioning in the house and NO other reviews mentioned it which is wild. The listing never mentioned air conditioning as an amenity, but we incorrectly assumed that was a given; we mentioned we were traveling with a dog and a baby, so it would've been nice to have been explicitly told. There were fans, but the house is older and traps heat, making it very stuffy when it's hot outside. After we expressed this to the host, it seems the listing was changed to explicitly list air conditioning as NOT included.
There are 2 bedrooms downstairs and 2 upstairs - the upstairs bedrooms are up a steep, narrow winding staircase that would be very difficult for an older or larger person to climb and probably somewhat dangerous for younger children. The bathroom on the 2nd floor is attached to one of the bedrooms and requires walking through it to get there - the door to the bathroom and that bedroom do not fully close.
Also note, shampoo/conditioner/body wash and beach accessories (towels/umbrellas/chairs) are not provided. At this price point, I do wish more basics were provided as they would be in one of the many similarly priced hotels in town.
