I cannot say enough great things about this home and our stay. Julia is responsive and gave us all of the details and instructions in advance. Once we walked through the door, we didn't have to contact her at all during our stay. Everything was exactly where she said it would be, and the house is very well stocked with the basics (dishes, pots, pans, grill, etc.).
The house itself seemed MUCH bigger in person than what we anticipated from the pictures which was a happy surprise. It was also more modern looking in person than what we thought from the pictures. The kitchen is large and open, and all of the drawers and cabinets "made sense" so it was extremely easy to find things. We are a house of cooks, so this was a huge plus for us. All of the bedrooms were spacious, and had appropriate dresser and closet space to put things away for the week.
The location of the house was unbeatable. We were a little nervous about it being busy outside, but it wasn't. The rooms are located toward the rear of the house as well, so if there was noise, we didn't hear it. We traveled with an 8 and 10 year old who had no problems walking the two blocks to the beach. It is perfectly located a few blocks from fantasy island and bay village. The bagel store next door was the highlight of our mornings, and there is a small grocery store one block over. We never had to get in the car once we got there.
Julia also gave us the best beach pro-tip ever! She recommended that we park one of our cars on the beach block and keep our beach items in the car, so you only had walk to your car and carry everything in it up the dune. She also provided six beach passes, and extra chairs and boogie boards. The outdoor shower was clean, and the deck was really nice to sit out on in the mornings and the evenings. We got extremely lucky with the weather, but the house is spacious enough that if you are stuck inside for a day, everyone has their own space.
Again, I cannot recommend this property enough, and we are already booking for next year.
