We loved the house! Plenty of towels and clean sheets, more than enough dishes, and everything worked great. My in-laws are a bit older with bad knees, and the stairs were a little tough on them as they're kind of narrow with some weird angles, but we knew to expect that. We absolutely loved the beach - it was very quiet and peaceful, a little windy during our stay in early May but the weather was otherwise perfect. We did see a few Man-o-war's wash up that we had to be careful around as we had a 3-year-old and 10-month-old. The electric shutters on all the windows were so helpful to get the kids to nap and sleep well, and the outdoor hose was so helpful to get most of the sand off of us all! I do wish there had been a few more chairs we could take to the beach (there were two plastic Adirondack chairs, both unfortunately broken) and we had to buy a lot of other stuff that the house didn't have (beach towels/toys, lighters, toilet paper/paper towels, dish soap/laundry detergent, etc. since we flew out from Colorado) so chairs were not something we wanted to buy as well. A few more dish towels in the kitchen would have been great to have, and the refrigerator water dispenser doesn't work so it was either warm tap water or bottled water to drink. One thing that needed to be fixed was the screen in the upstairs hall bathroom - someone left the window open and I walked in to find my 3-year-old leaning way out of the window as the screen was completely shredded! She was just playing but still about gave me a heart attack. The house is probably not the best for toddlers or babies learning to crawl/walk - we had to buy a baby gate for the stairs as our little one is desperate to explore everything. The fireplace in the master bedroom really drew her attention, and without a grate covering the iron log holder/fake rocks it was a disaster waiting to happen - but that's pretty normal with all kids. Just some small safety things to consider. All in all, we loved our stay, and the location was perfect!
