The house has just recently been updated very nicely. It is stocked very well, everything is available that you might need. The back balcony is very nice and large and the view over the water is gorgeous. Except for early morning the balcony is in the shade, which makes sitting out a pleasure. The floor plan of the house is split with a large living space and kitchen in the middle and two bedrooms on each side. The central A/C unit must not be able to keep up with the summer heat and the owner installed an additional three mobile window units which help keep the temperature down during the heat of midday, they are a little noisy, but we did not need them more than a few hours in the afternoon. There are lots of places to sit everywhere in the house and outside. Plenty of room for parking, balconies in the front and the back and a large deck for fishing, landing a boat of just hanging out. We loved accessing the beach across the street, it is the least busy stretch of beach. We were able to leave our umbrella, chairs, etc at the beach over night without any problems. It takes about 7 minutes to walk to the beach. Dogs are allowed on the beach on a leash, although we never saw anyone enforcing that rule. The beach is wide and has very fine white sand. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay.
