Disliked: Listing accuracy
House was in a good location, 5 min walk to the beach, which is a public beach. FYI this beach was not all sand, there was a mix of gravel around the edge, so don’t expect a nice stroll down the shoreline, but we had a good half day at the beach laying around. As for the house, the owner lives in the underneath. He wasn’t there much but you could tell someone was down there when he was home. He did knock on the door to show us a way to get to the beach. So if you want a place all to your own, this isn’t it. The floors are wooden, every move you make, is loud. There’s a glass door with a rug hanging that has stairs that leads down to the owners half. It’s a keyed deadbolt but maybe consider updating to one less see though. The bed was like sleeping on a stack of plywood, please, please invest in a comfortable bed if you are gonna charge over 800 for 3 nights! We actually drove home a night early because we didn’t want to sleep on that bed. As for cleanliness; 5/10 extremely overpriced in my opinion but I also booked extremely last minute so final score 3/5. PS the pics on the listing are deceiving. There’s drywall tape falling from the bathroom ceiling. A white toilet they don’t show, etc. Every single rental on all these sites should be video only, it’s 2026!!! Pictures are deceiving, video tells more of the story. If I had seen a walk through video, I prob would have found something else.

Beach House

House was clean and a beautiful location very close to beach. Bed was a full size not queen as noted in the listing.
