Cozy beach house with a lovely yard and bonus treehouse for the kids. The kitchen has all the amenities to make a gourmet meal and a great BBQ. Every time we looked for something it was there, french press - check, slow cooker - check, spices - check. You can eat in or out on the back deck. The 2 downstairs bedrooms were comfortable and the 2 bathrooms were spacious. It is a quick stroll to the beach. We borrowed their bikes, my kids got on their scooters and we headed to the beach or a great nearby park. Other days we perused through their extensive library and found a perfect book to read for adults and kids or found a great game to play.
The decor in the house is beautiful, and reflects the owners travels and interest in music. There are beautiful guitars, and high-end hammocks in each bedroom and out in the yard. The yard is spectacular, my kids ran around and my 4 year old went into the tree house and I could lounge on the outdoor furniture and take in all the succulents. It is landscaped beautifully!
The house was very clean. We brought toys for our kids and when we lost them and had to move a couch back it was immaculate, no dust!
My cons were:
The 3rd bedroom is a loft space, the staircase to get up there is narrow and steep. I was traveling with a 1 and 4 year old and my parents who are 70 and I didn't feel comfortable having any of them go up and down the stairs at night if they had to use the restroom. My husband and I took the loft space which was challenging because we are both 6 feet tall and couldn't stand up straight in 80% of the space. If you're visiting with pre-teens or teenagers this would be a great bedroom for them.
The sound travels throughout the house. If you were in the loft bedroom, or the 2nd bedroom, both rooms are off the main living space and you could hear everything that was said in the living room. The master you didn't hear that much. This may not be a problem for everyone but I put my kids down for a nap and didn't want everyone to have to whisper until they fell asleep and also we stayed up after our children went to bed. We solved this problem by traveling with a sound machine. But if you don't have kids this may not bother you.
Overall nice stay!
