The house was great. You could tell it was older house that’s been updated, but they did a great job. The decor was great, everything was easy to find, and it was great for our family. The kids loved the pool table, outdoor games, and the tree swing. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for everyone.
The property owner was very quick to reply to any messages. The neighborhood was very quiet and felt very safe. It was a short drive to the beach and downtown.
The only cons for the place was the inside temperature and the windows. We are a family that keeps our thermostat on 68 year round. Here, you can’t put the thermostat under 74 during the summer. I assume it’s probably because the AC can’t keep up with anything lower, which I understand, but it was warm for what we prefer. We bought a small fan for the bedroom and made it work though.
It would also be nice if the curtains in the main living areas could be closed for privacy (or at least have some blinds). At night, if there are lights on, the neighbors or anyone passing by can see right in through the front window. Thankfully, the trees and shrubs in the backyard helped create a little privacy for the back living room window.
Still, the positives definitely outweighed the negatives. We would definitely stay here again.
