The house looks exactly as it does in the pictures. Very tastefully decorated, cozy and well stocked. There was not one thing I could think of that I wished would have been there that wasn’t. The house has a kitchen full of everything you need for everyday cooking, baking, smoothie making, coffee, plenty of spices, cleaning products, etc. All the appliances worked perfectly including what looks like a brand new A/C. The garage has everything you need for the beach. Beach wagon, umbrellas, coolers, tons of beach chairs, sand toys, pool noodles, even beach hats!
All the beds were comfortable. The outdoor shower was convenient and relaxing. The pool was clean and well maintained. The backyard was very nicely manicured and I was surprised by the nice breeze outback and seriously considered starting a fire in the fire pit in the dead of summer just to make s’mores (we didn’t). The backyard was fenced in all the way around which was great for the dog. I probably read in every good reading spot in the house (there were a lot) including the front porch which was also very comfortable and relaxing.
I can’t forget to mention the beach which was so close that we could easily walk back and forth if we forgot something or if someone needed to go to the bathroom. The waves were fun to play in and all four of our kids (9yo and 6yo triplets) had a great time beaching it up daily and pool time after.
Interestingly, I was highly impressed with the trash compactor…You’ll see. ;)
