The house was clean, generally well-appointed, and more affordable than other similarly located houses. There were some minor maintenance issues that were taken care of during our stay (including a new dishwasher installation), and the complimentary solar heating apparatus for the pool did not work. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our time here! We would recommend this house for several reasons: location (it is an easy walk to the ocean and sound), size/bedroom allotment to price ratio, cleanliness of the house, amenities (the large charcoal smoker grill was great to have), extra fridge/mini bar on the first floor, and TV systems in almost every room for rainy days. Be mindful that the water in the house can get VERY hot: too hot for children without supervision.
