This place is like taking aa deep breath and letting it out slowly... absolutely stunning view of the ocean, spacious, open, wraparound porches, dappled shade from the tree canopy, complete privacy thanks to the understory left on either side of the house, perfectly architectured for blow-through breezes, or close it all except the front doors to keep the wind out but hear the ocean waves.
It would have gotten all 5 stars except it was a struggle to get the key out of the lock, to open the Frnch doors fully (as noted by other guests), and there was quite a bit of sand on the porch floors when we arrived. Seeing how wet the outdoor porch floors got in the sea fog most of the days/nights we stayed there, as in everything dripping, I expect it would be hard to get the wet floors very clean. We did find we needed more rugs (by each bed and a longer one between the beachside screen door and the entry to the living room) and blankets (we slept with the windows open) than were provided, and had a late-arriving guest bring more.
Otherwise, the house was so comfortable and had everything we needed. We brought our own firewood, charcoal (but you don't need lighter bc they provie a lighter chimney), and beach towels, as directed. The water was delicious straight from the kitchen faucet, not sure why the reviews say it isn't, maybe a afilter was installed? Loved the outdoor shower, although water stands in it and can't drain till about an inch or so deep, so we just added a brick platform to stand on.
This house is an old Florida beach house gem, and so delightfully private and natural. Kudos to the owners for keeping the architecture true to the original design.
