It really does have fabulous ocean views. Not only from the deck, where there is a full 180 degree view, but also from every single room in the house. You can do the dishes while watching the waves. Even though the house isn't that close to the water, given its location up the hill, you can hear the waves while sitting on the deck, or falling asleep. The house is well sized for 4 people, but probably would be tight for 6. The deck and dining room table comfortably sit 4, but not more. The appliances are very dated, but we grilled so it was fine. Note there is 1 bathroom upstairs on the main living area, and only 1 bathroom downstairs where the 2 bedrooms are located - so you'll be sharing a bathroom on that floor. Check in & out process is a bit of a pain. Who wants to have to go into town to pick up and drop off a key in an age of electronic keycodes?
