Location was perfect! You could so easily walk to town and the street was nice and quiet. Having a beach pass was also clutch! And they had all the goods for a beach day. We had some trouble with the WiFi and TV but otherwise it was perfect!

Family vacation

The house was in the best location. Very easy walk to downtown to the shops and restaurants. However, the house definitly had signs of wear and tear and not quite as clean as I expected it to be. There was also an awful smell in the bathroom.
