Wonderful beach views; clean rooms; kitchen is fairly well equipped-not quite a gourmet kitchen, though; (however, kitchen could use a bit of organization so it would be easier to find things, plus we sure wished there was a pantry-or shelving in laundry room); lots of seating space in living room; love the game room downstairs; primary bedroom is spacious; upstairs kind beds were comfy; host was very responsive to questions; great place to spend a vacation with family and/or friends.
