Pros:
1. quiet neighborhood and (long) walking distance to beach
2. enough beds, bedrooms, and indoor/outdoor seating for a large family
Cons:
1. dirty floors and rugs, old furnishing and appliances, insufficient supply of staples (drier is too old to have a safety measure - to stop spinning when drier door is opened - so if you have small children, be very careful; 2 out of 4 stove heads work consistently; kitchen had no basic condiment or seasonings - property management comp provided salt, pepper and sugar upon request; enough plates and bowls for a family of 3 or 4, not for a house that sleeps 10; renter should expect to buy paper towels, shower gel, shampoo and hand wash along many other basic items during your stay)
2. far enough away from the beach to make walking to the beach and back (in sandals, dragging beach towels/toys/boards, water, etc) undoable, esp. with children
3. have to rent beddings (no sheets or pillow cases included in the booking) but the bed sizes provided in the posting are wrong - we learned it the hard way
4. radiators were on while AC was on during our stay in July, by cleaners or by previous renters left unnoticed
5. renter has to drive to town to their office to pick up and return the keys, even though they have the keyless entry capacity (with code for a key lockbox like a realtor's)
This is an old and somewhat cleaned house with inconsistent furnishing and many allergy triggers (in the rugs, in the beds...) just far enough away from the beach that you either have to drive to the beach or hesitate/regret walking there, which defeats the reason to rent a beach house to begin with.
