8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Pros: The house is huge and very clean. The view from the window is amazing. The beds are super comfortable, and the heated blankets were a great touch.Cons: In my opinion, the parking is slightly inconvenient - you have to go around the house and park essentially on the road (though, to be fair, there’s hardly any traffic there). Also, you have to take the trash to a dumpster located up the street. If you have a lot of trash, it’s a bit too far and heavy to go on foot.Overall: We loved it! Honestly, the cons are very minor compared to all the pros.

Stayed with family with several young children and we loved it. Kayaks, chairs, and a floating dock on a rocky beach, but a smooth sand beach right on the other side perfect for low tide. It was the 2nd time we've stayed here in the last 4 years, and will probably come back. Parking can be tight, and air conditioning only in the main bedrooms can get rough when you get a heat wave, but plenty of windows and an ocean breeze help.
