Happy House 1

The place was cozy and quaint; it was clean. The view from the balcony was beautiful, and the deck was enjoyable. The access to the beach was great and the outside shower was very handy. It was clear the unit was originally one house that has been divided into two units. We were on the lower unit and could constantly hear the tenants above walking around and talking. There was one water heater shared between both units which caused a shortage of hot water between both units. Showers were often cold. The washer and dryer were about 5ft from the head of one of the beds which was distracting when trying to sleep and someone was trying to do laundry. The unit smelled very damp, especially in the bathrooms. If a damp swimsuit was hung on a hook to dry, it would still be damp 24 hours later. Even though there were curtains, the lack of blinds permitted the 5:30 AM sun to wake up tenants as well. The owners have made good use of the space with dressers and armoires, but there was no space to keep a suitcase; they had to be moved to under the bed or to the car. I would not recommend this place for a family with young kids since sound permeates throughout the unit and from up above.

The view and location are perfect. It is so easy to access the beach. We stayed on the first floor and although we could hear foot steps- it wasn’t bad. The home did had a distinct musty/water smell like a wet basement. I had difficulty breathing as I have asthma. By day three I didn’t notice the smell. Washer and dryer worked perfectly- although I will have to re wash all of our clothing. Dishwasher and other amenities worked nicely. Again, the view and location is something that is hard to find. I liked the first floor because you can access back porch from outside.

We had a fabulous vacation. The view was priceless and steps to the beach. The kitchen was very well stocked and plenty of room for everyone. You can hear every step from the upstairs guests, but it was a small price to pay.

Great house. Back porch looking out on the beach was my home for seven days. The home was great and we would stay here again.

Laid back, quiet
