Only thing missing was a microwave. We enjoyed our stay and would consider visiting again in the future.

Our only downside was the small bed which wasnât ideal for tall people but it was mostly comfortable aside from that. For the interest of maintenance, when we arrived we noticed a broken step on the outside steps leading to the parking space. Other than that, it was wonderful- great place to walk into town from and close to the beach as well. The house itself is lovely and was very clean.
