Summary: The property location was perfect. With the beach just outside our door and a wonderful view, it was what I needed to unwind. Two things stand out as being negative. First, the water inside was hard to get used to. It had an awful taste and bad smell. Had to brush my teeth using bottle water. Second was the lighting in the entire cabin. Every light seemed to be about 40 watts. It was almost impossible to read after the sun went down. The positive things were definitely the cost, the location, and very nice new windows. They were very easy to raise and lower. The beds were very comfortable and the living room was comfortable too. The kitchen was stocked with a variety of cookware and dishes. Suggestions to improve:Make sure the kitchen has a potholder. After heating something in the oven, I couldn’t find one and had to get a towel out of the bathroom to remove the hot pan. Get rid of tacky decor—like dirty, moldy looking wax fruit on kitchen table. No decor is better than decor that is uncared for. It was fun to sit around a campfire with neighbors. A very friendly group.
