The street is split so it causes a lot of confusion. When we finally found the house we were pleasantly surprised. It’s brand new and very nicely stocked. Clean, comfortable and decorated very nice. We really enjoyed the backyard BBQ and fire pit. Very quiet neighborhood. If you open the windows at night you can hear the ocean. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Jennifer C.

Tryed using the text function and got nowere, so we where unable to add our guest. We are a family of 5 the listing said sleeps 6 dut there where only enough seeting for 4 in the living room. And we tried to barbecue the first night but the propane was empty. The house is also a duplex and I don't remember reading that in the discription. But it was peivit in a good location and a well equiped kitchen. Overall we loved our stay. ##### Skyler B.
