"Breakfast was out of stock of all eggs and sausage 2 days we were there. Super long wait to find staff because the sign is always up at the front desk saying they are away doesn't seem to be someone who sits at the desk they seem to be busy doing other chores - I don't think the staff was Lazy just being multi tasked too much. When they did finally get to the desk they were very helpful."

8/10 Good
"Nice, clean property, family friendly! Appreciated the great communication from host and being able to check out late. Only suggestions would be minor little things to make it feel more like home (have also experienced at other vacation rentals): more kitchen towels (there were only 2 for hand drying/dishes), a night light, pen/paper, beach towels, coffee pods, soap/shampoo. Also, the bed in the bedroom was too soft for my liking. Be aware that due to the structure of the house, there are no curtains for the top/A part of the structure so sleeping upstairs exposes you to all of the bright lights from other houses/windmill lights at night (there is a small curtain but it doesn't block everything) and all outdoor light throughout the day. Overall, a great little place!"
