Empire Beach House
We had an amazing time and loved that this house was in walking distance of the beach and all our favorite places in Empire. The neighborhood is nice and the neighbors (local) were so friendly. The house was plenty big enough for our family of 6. The kitchen was big but could definitely use some upgrades to the utensils (pan handles all loose, minimal utensils available, light bulbs out, cabinets loose). The beds were not the most comfortable so would suggest a foam pad if needed.

Would not stay again/low value for the cost
Good location, updated, and enough space for all of us, comfortable beds. However it took two hours to gain access to the property after we arrived at 6:30 and it was very frustrating being left on hold or having calls unanswered. There was nothing to cook meals with. More knives/utensils than I have ever seen in my life but no proper pots or pans, baking sheets, etc. I spent hundreds of unplanned dollars eating out (between higher prices in general and vacation town markups) because we could not cook some of our meals and the pantry was not stocked with basics. Backyard was unkempt, could not use the grill because it was across the yard and we did not want to pick up ticks. Outdoor fire pit not useable and indoor gas fireplace wasn’t working. There was no exercise equipment or room as advertised. There was no first aid kit as advertised. Need to bring your own beach umbrella, chairs, etc. Local property manager was helpful with a broken cabinet door and seemed to genuinely care about making sure everything in the house was as good as it could be.
