Summary: The location is beautiful. The accessibility to the kayaks and Cape porpoise is awesome. Great view. We were very comfortable with the air conditioning downstairs but upstairs was very hot and stuffy. The kitchen was well stocked. convenient entry to the home with the lockbox. Close to a market and great restaurants. adequate parking for two vehicles. The cleanliness of the home needs to be addressed. We did a lot of cleaning on our own. The ceiling fans had to be cleaned because when you turned them on the dust would fly all over. The beds hadn't been moved and vacuumed in forever. Because of mouse poop in the pantry, we stored our food in another cupboard.. Enclosed pictures of the stained pillows with no zipped cases. The upstairs tub was very dirty and the. grip stickers on the tub floor were nasty and the shower curtain was very dirty. The overhead lighting had lots of bugs. we had to sweep as soon as we got there because of all the dead bugs. check out was very easy. Overall, we had a good time, but for the price there has to be some cleaning done. We shouldn't have had to clean on arrival. The beach pass was a nice bonus.
