The location was perfect. The sheets had dog hair on them. Wish we were given a few more towels/linens. We were a family of 4 and we were given a pack of linens that contained 1 towel, 1 hand towel, and 1 washcloth for each person to use for all 3 days. No hand towel in the bathroom either.

This house worked well with just us two and our small dog. We enjoyed sitting on deck in the captain chairs every evening. Is an older house but has been updated with wooden floors and good bathroom. We enjoyed our stay!

Great beach access. But the house itself was musty - it was noticeable as soon as we opened the door and before even going inside. Bed sheets were already sandy and the comforters were heavily stained, greasy and very cheap. No working lights in the kitchen and no working lights outside by the door or for the driveway. No towel bars in the bathroom. No hose on the porch for rinsing off after the beach - there is a hose underneath but it’s surrounded by sand and defeats the purpose. Zero interior door mats or floor rugs so no wonder it was already sandy before we got there. The advertised grill and fish cleaning station were rusted out and absolutely disgusting, wholly unusable. Dishes in the kitchen were clearly put away dirty. At least the beach was easy to get to.
