The house was very clean, the towels and linens were very nice. The owners went to great lengths to add all of the things one might need while staying in this house, and while visiting the beach. The kitchen had literally everything I needed to cook with, but we chose to mostly eat out. Close to all the good shops and many great restaurants! We walked to the farmers market, just a few blocks away, and to the trolley stop that took us to the city beach. Our dog enjoyed the freedom of the fenced in yard and took walks each day on nearby trails and paved paths. We had a fire in the back yard fire pit, which everyone enjoyed. There was plenty of wood. All the appliances were newer, and in great shape. There were extra fans in the closets, but the house was nice and cool for a hot summer. We especially appreciated all the beach towels, made it easy for us to pack light.
