We loved the property and the location. We did wish the kitchen was better stocked. My husband loves to cook and he was unable to prepare meals like he usually would while we were on vacation. The pans were all very small and old, there was no chef knife and there was no measuring cups. We made do with what we had but it would have been nice to have a few other things in the kitchen.

The place was perfect for us. Stairs were easy to get up and down. The view for the coast was pretty. The decor made it feel like home in a beach way. The beach access is super easy. You take a right out the drive and the road to the beach is half a block we walked there and back. The hosts were beyond helpful and responded very quick.

Avari response:

This was a great location, but the house definitely received a band aid updating and desperately needs insulation. We had the ac guys out twice from the management company because the house ac was sitting around 80 each day. They said it was running great but the insulation in the house was nonexistent and there were not enough air vents in the ceiling of the living room to support the space. It looks like a porch was enclosed and an additional vent wasn’t added.
It was very clean and the location was great. Literally right across the street from the beach. The management company was very responsive but it seems like they can only do so much.
