The house was great, yes you can see the ocean and hear the ocean from the house. Open windows on both sides of the kitchen and living area and cool air blows through. All essentials are provided. If i needed something turnkey wasted no time to help me. There is a blow dryer in the master bathroom, there are 4 small beach chairs with straps to carry and two large beach chairs. 3 umbrellas, lots of sand toys, one foot ball and two small beach towels. Turnkey said they didn't have those items but wanted to help the next renter so you can bring less. The walk isn't bad but long enough you won't want to go back to use the bathroom due to the hill lol. the beach is perfect for families. We had a great time! seriously can't say enough about the promptness of providing extra blankets and propane! Lastly Turnkey please provide an email on the guest portal we were locked out for two hours with no cell phone service and had to wait for a neighbor to come home to use their phone to call you. Future guests read the full info so you have the lock box code if you get locked out... Will definitely use Turnkey again. :)
