Let me start by saying that we really enjoyed our time at this home. Our group consisted of 2 families (4 adults, 2 teenagers & 2 kids in their 20âs). The home was plenty spacious for us all, and was well stocked with towels, snorkel gear, beach chairs, etc. We chose to have the parents stay in the upstairs unit, and kids downstairs. Access to the nearest beach is just about 50 yards down the street, and we spent countless hours on the back patio, enjoying the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks at the edge of the property.
The home is conveniently located, but not in the typical âtouristâ areas. Youâll find yourself primarily amongst locals, not resorts and hotels. In fact, Iâm not sure I saw a building more than two stories tall. WalMart, Target, and several grocery stores are near by, convenient to provision your stay.
Josh, the owner, was extremely accommodating. He allowed us to arrive a little ahead of our scheduled âcheck-inâ time, and checked in with us periodically throughout our stay. Itâs also very apparent that heâs continuing to maintain and improve the property. Even during our stay, he was having a very nice privacy fence installed at the edge of the property; helping to buffer from an unattractive property next door.
Lastly, Iâd advise everyone to have appropriate expectations. This is a home that IS at the edge of the ocean. If you understand how salt and wind impacts a home, then youâll understand that there will always be some amount of âweatheringâ, even with constant maintenance and upkeep. If you need the Ritz Carlton, this home is not for you. If you want clean, comfortable, private, and to be immersed in the local environment, itâll be a perfect fit.
