The house itself had a nice obstructed view of the sound. The neighborhood is safe and friendly. The beds were very comfortable! Unfortunately there were several issues. There was not a working method to rinse off after a day at the beach. It had not been clear to me that there had been pets from the listing but very evident from the smell of the couches and area rugs. The house had not been thoroughly cleaned to rid of the pet hair or to clean some of the less obvious spots. I actually had to clean the washing machine of the buildup before washing my own clothes. The kitchen pots and pans are due to be replaced. I spent too much time on the phone the first few days trying to fix the issues, and it made me not want to express any of the other issues found as we went (Previous tenant had taken all of the backup paper supplies, there was no remote for the TV, the AC breaker had been turned off, fridge had not been cleaned out or cleaned). The host was very friendly but things just weren't how they should be for the money we spent.
