Cons:
-Despite being cute, the shower in the master bedroom was not very functional for us, so we used the shower in the second bathroom instead. For parties of more than two, this could be an issue. Even for a small person, it is pretty tight. A frameless glass door instead of a shower curtain might open up the space some.
-Our older dog had difficulty navigating the yard because it was unmaintained, and she repeatedly fell into the weeds. This caused her to get a tick that she passed on to my husband.
-The outside shower could be more functional if a platform or concrete slab was built so that you don't have to use it in the dirt.
-A cockroach was spotted in the master bedroom the night before we checked out. Despite our efforts, it always retreated into the gaps between the shiplap, so we were not able to catch it.
-The hot tub was dirty. The host said someone would come to clean it, but that did not happen until the morning we checked out.
-For less than we paid for four nights, we could have rented a larger, newer home closer to the beach for an entire week.
Pros:
-The home was clean and the pictures were accurate.
-The decor is very cute and matches the 1950s theme.
-The host provided many wonderful recommendations for nearby places to eat and things to do. These could be compiled into a binder and left for guests at check-in.
-In the shed, there were beach gear and bikes that were helpful.
-The location was good and close to a walking trail and the beach.
