Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Me and my family had a wonderful stay. The host was amazing with communication. The location was perfect with beach access right across the street. Loved that the property provided beach chairs. We really didn’t have any complaints. only a few things that I would mention is needs better cleaning and furniture needs updated in living area. Sofa bed was usable but broke . Fans/ mirrors dirty. Baseboards very dirty and oven was not clean. Shower curtain needs replaced. Also lots of dust behind furniture. Overall we had an amazing stay.
