The location of this hone was just as described-right at the beach, with beautiful views from several windows. The surrounding landscape was also lovely and very peaceful. It felt very private. The downsides-no stove, no living room area-were in the description so no surprise. The stairs to the beach which bothered some people were steep but sturdy, and no problem for a 3 year old, a woman 8 months pregnant, and a senior in her seventies. We'd come again!
