Beautiful home, well appointed, very nice renovation on the top floor, very comfortable and inviting. Stunning views of the ocean from multiple decks on the back of the house. The elevator is a huge bonus for anyone with mobility issues or even just for carrying luggage and groceries. Very easy to keep a family entertained without leaving - pool table, hot tub, swimming pool, movie room, and of course the beach. Access to the beach was the best of any of the surrounding properties with far fewer steps to negotiate and a foot wash to keep the sand out of the house. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and some pool floats were provided. The kitchen was well stocked as far as pots, pans, dishes, etc. We didn’t find the exercise room with equipment advertised on the VRBO site.
As for the cons, the house really needs AT LEAST twice the number of bath towels. There was only ONE kitchen towel. The supplies provided are reasonable for guests that live close enough to drive and just bring along the necessary things that aren’t supplied. That is harder for guests that are flying in. For example, it would be nice to have hair dryers and a big pile of beach towels available. It would also be nice to have things like spices, condiments, laundry detergent, fabric softener, dishwasher tabs, etc. In other homes we have stayed in, guests would leave these types of things for the next guests to use, replenishing the items as needed. They were not cleaned out between sets of guests.
The owner should consider adding a guest book for guests to sign and leave information about the wonderful discoveries they’ve found for the next guests to read. This is a great house that could easily be a spectacular one to match its incredible location. We all loved this house and would stay here again in a heartbeat. We were lucky to have found it for our vacation!
