After an adjustment in our expectations, we were fine. There’s no central heating, but the electric heating units and fireplace kept us warm. There’s no tv, but we enjoyed reading and being on the internet. The location is wonderful. Very close to the beach, but the hike to the beach is serious! Not far, just steep. The unit smells a little musty, but for the most part was clean. It’s not bright and sunny like the picture because you are surrounded by trees and hills.
