The house was spotless, well stocked (pans, silverware, etc.) with everything you would need in the kitchen. The beds were comfy (and I am picky.) Plenty of space in the main floor living areas. Lots of light throughout. The deck was wonderful, with water view and plenty of shade. We walked around the neighborhood each morning and evening, everyone we saw was friendly, saying hello. The beach is a 30 second walk away, and they have beach chairs and an umbrella to use. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. Rent it, you will not be sorry. (And the hosts are delightful.) ##### samae c. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 ---
