Summary: The house was perfect! It looks just like the pictures. The view, beach access and outdoor seating was everything I had hoped. Drinking morning coffee with that view was the best part. The kitchen pots and pans had some wear and tear on the non-stick surfaces, but otherwise the kitchen was well-equipped. I would have loved a tea kettle. The management was so responsive to any needs during my stay. The place was adorable. It really was such a great place to stay and I loved it. I would gladly go back anytime.
