It's clear that the owners care about this house (which can't be said of some AirBnB rentals). It's very well maintained, with nothing in need of repair.
Our biggest positive surprise was the kitchen, which doesn't get all that much attention in the listing. It's spacious, with newish appliances and fixtures, a beautiful gas range, and a great layout. It's the first time we've seen a blender in our AirBnB experiences, and it was most welcome. And yes, the staples (salt, pepper, etc.) are definitely provided.
Also pleasant was the quietness of the neighborhood. The house is at the end of a "no outlet" (aka "dead end") street, and surrounded by such dense greenery that privacy is a total non-issue, even when the window shades are not drawn. Adds to the relaxation. And the parking is not just street parking. You have your own private, generously-sized parking area, again surrounded by greenery, with plenty of room to turn around even a large car or truck.
Our other biggest surprise was how small the living room area is. From the photo in the listing, it looks quite large. I know, all AirBnB listers take pains to make rooms look larger than they really are, but this difference was especially dramatic. The living area that you see in the foreground of the main photo is only about 12 feet deep; to my eye, it looks at least twice that in the photo—and we were naively expecting that. Again in the photo, the kitchen seems to be on the far side of infinity, but in fact it's just a few steps away.
All in all, we were happy with our stay, and we thank the owners for their diligence in taking care of their beach house.
