If you are looking for a great family cabin in a convenient location then this is it. Some of the reviews that are not so great may be true but this is a very popular rental and for a rental that accepts dogs I don’t think standards can be held too high. The carpets are pretty grossly stained and the floors might leave your feet black but the house smells very clean. The backyard is all rocks and dirt which was disappointing at first but then if your dog digs a hole it’s not going to matter. I was disappointed when I got there I had to pick up 13 piles of dog poop and some trash in the backyard before allowing my dogs to go out there but I’m not sure what the rules are when you leave for that I would think people would pick up after their dogs but you know how that goes. There was also 14 of the largest bags of trash lined up along side of the house when we pulled in and even though I expressed my concerns no one came to pick them up during our stay, I thought that was kind of gross to see what messes and trash was left behind by the people that stayed before us. There is no access to the hose, it’s locked, which was an inconvenience when trying to rinse everyone off after going to the beach. I would bring extra towels unless you want to do some wash while your there which is possible with the washer and dryer. There is one screen door missing but the place stayed very cool during the day with the windows open minus that door. There were a lot of things available for your use which I thought was nice, like complimentary spices and soaps and coffee etc (just bring coffee filters!) I was impressed with how much the kitchen had to offer, maybe not enough for large families but for our family of 4 it was perfect. Also I was pleased with how many EXTRA blankets and Pillows there were that was surprising. All in all the house is beautiful, vaulted ceilings nice size great room and table, big deck sunshine coming through every window very warm and cozy feeling. The house could use a good cleaning especially the lights and fans but according to my husband my standards can’t be kept that high for a rental that allows dogs.
