The Weber grill was new. The closest beach wasn't swimmable but was pretty. The only constructive comment i offer is that the toilet in the shower bathroom rocks becase the floor and tile need to be replaced. The vrbo service fee and breakage insurance fees were excessive and left us with a negative view for future rentals with them. ##### Matt J.
