I can't speak to the beach location because we went in January. Nice quiet location. Easy to walk the dogs, kids could drive their RC cars in the yard and down the street. No traffic noise. Had everything we needed for a quick weekend getaway. As for the house it suited our needs. We could bring the dogs, we could relax, and be comfortable. If you are looking for fancy this won't be your place. The couches are very worn (somewhat expected since they do allow dogs), next time i would probably pack a few sheets to cover them, the kitchen has faced some better days but remains fully functional and has the necessities. The bathrooms are clean and updated (except the mirror in the upstairs bathroom). We only used 3 beds but they were comfortable. The sheets were clean but had some stubborn stains on them. Bottom line if you can look past the fact that items are aged and just want a place to get away I would recommend. The place was clean when we arrived and we had a great weekend.
