Review

The front entrance is a huge tripping hazard! The fridge and freezer smelled like rotten fish and so did all the food we put in there. The master bedroom was very difficult to sleep in because it constantly sounded like someone was pressure washing, thinking it was the air conditioner. Otherwise the house was clean and fairly close to the beach.

Grateful

Was pleased overall. Some lights and fan didn’t work in the master bedroom. There was no good way to rinse off after coming off the brash. But we’d certainly stay there again.

Smoke smell

Extremely pungent smell of smoke, had to call emergency maintenance and they just brought some air purifiers. It still strongly smelled throughout the week and we ended up making other accommodations for some of our family. Overall, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
