The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was overall very clean. We had 4 elderly people, so the stairs were a little overwhelming. For being a new home, it has a lot of maintenance that needs to be done, such as all the downstairs ceilings, closet doors, and electrical outlet holes. There were a lot of bugs in the house. The pool was very clean when we arrived, but no maintenance was done during our stay and it got very cloudy and murky. The walk to the beach is also very treacherous for older people when coming back, since you have to climb a steep hill. The house kitchen was well stocked with all the essential appliances and cookware. I think this place would be ideal for a family with young kids, however would not recommend if you are bringing senior guests. ##### Pamela O.

The beach was serene and water color breathtaking! The Better Life & Cottage had everything we needed and more to make dinners, grill out and plenty of room to relax and multiple bedrooms and baths. The home is very spacious and beds were very comfortable. The pool and pergola area was perfect for a dip after a few hours at the beach and plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas! Overall, the home was amazing!We would also like to mention that it was very clean and well maintained. The Property Manager was also very attentive and helpful too!
