This house is in a great location with perfect beach view and access. With 8 bedrooms, we were able to be comfortable with our family gathering of 18 people. The furnishings are nice enough but not beachy - dark cherry and "leather". The kitchen is not well equipped for cooking for a crowd and has limited counter space. Fortunately there's a second refrigerator in the "pantry", which also holds a second washer/dryer stack. This makes for a very crowded pantry but the 3nd frig is essential to feed 18! The refrigerator regularly ran out of ice but there's an ice maker in the bar area of the lower level. The upper deck is great but unfortunately has no roof or umbrella, and the table is too small to accommodate a crowd for dinner. The elevator is great to haul luggage and groceries, and was also important for our mobility limited family members. A house manual would be helpful (we received only the generic info from the rental company that applies to all houses)...but we figured things out. Wifi worked well. Access and response to problem solving was good, since there were several issues but resolved within 24 hours. Bottom line - if you need a big house, it works and you just can't beat this location, awesome view and direct beach access!
