The view, oh the view. It was SPECTACULAR. The photos are exactly the same as in person. The home was comfortable. There is plenty of room for sleeping. The bunk room was a hit for my special needs adult son. The king size bed was very comfortable. There was another bedroom with 2 queen size beds too. The kitchen had all that we needed, except ice. There was no ice maker, but there was plenty of coffee and filters. A kitchen table would have been nice to sit and eat when it was too chilly outside - where the only table was. We were a little disappointed that there was no storage area in any of the bedrooms, so we had to live out of our suitcases. There was only one suitcase rack for the whole house. Also, there were only 10 hangers, so we couldn't even hang much up. It would be helpful if there was some place to put our clothes other than our suitcase. The bathrooms were okay, but the downstairs bathroom didn't have hot water at the sink. It had good water pressure for showers. The outside shower also had hot water. The only things we didn't like was 1) roaches, 2) gaps under the entrance doors, and 3) the internet wasn't very strong when trying to stream movies. The doors didn't open all the way, but that may be because of the floors. During the storms and wind the house did sway a bit, but that wasn't bad. I mean, it's built on stilts. The beach was just around the corner. We preferred to drive onto the beach, so we drove a little further to a public beach.
