What was great- Location location location - this felt like you were on the water w/o the huge price tag. During this time - we had lots of room up and down the beach a few thousand yards we were so thankful we didnt have to set up our tent at 7am to grab a spot. The beach was amazing and a great feature of this listing.
The house is also on a great part of 30a with close proximity to Blue Mountain Creamery, Seaside and other local shops and eateries like Goatfeathers and Stinky's.
Now to the other notes...The house is set up a bit oddly and it would have been nice to either know a few things or to have had some better pictures. Here is what we learned...the master is on the 3rd floor and doesn't have a door - it's open access and you can literally hear everything going on below you with limited privacy. The other two bedrooms are good and the bunk beds were fun for our kids. All bedrooms situated on 30a side and traffic on road is constant.
Two, the TVs in the bedrooms and kids area are old and do not allow for an HDMI connection like a gaming console or ROKU device. We ended up buying a cheap TV from walmart. Seems like a small investment of $400 would get you 3 adequate 32in TVs to replace what is there.
Three, the patio furniture that is in the pictures is not on site anymore and the furniture that was there was broken (rotten legs on two chairs and a love seat) when we sat on anything and we are not large people. We would have enjoyed the decks more if there were actual setting that was pictured.
Cookware was sufficient for cooking if you only have 4 people staying, no large pots or pans (one boiler); we bought a set of non stick skillets (that we left) as the one that was there was in bad shape. 1 wine glass, 1 dish rag and 1 dish towel;
Last but not least and not the fault of the property owner, but the cleanliness was sub par. When we arrived, lifted rug to sweep some sand and discovered entire rug was sitting on top of enough sand to make a dune. Windowsills dusty and just generally not clean, paint peeling on much of inside trim. After some cleaning, some ear plugs, a few purchases we settled in and really enjoyed our time. Wouldn't take much to make this place amazing with some furniture upgrades, some new cookware and electronics and would have paid more for those amenities. For the beach access we would stay again knowing from other reviews that the owners do care and will take this feedback seriously.
