The property is good for large family gatherings. The pictures make the house look a little better than it is when looking closely. It needed a deep cleaning as we saw dirty baseboards and dirty kitchen drawers and cabinets. We checked in late and could not unlock the front door. The contacts had gone to bed and did not answer their phones. We had to call the management company to get assistance. They eventually reached the hosts who called and rectified the issue. The air conditioner was not working, and we had to call back. The host was there within 15 minutes and had to flip a tripped breaker. We were refunded one night’ stay for the trouble. That was a very kind solution which we appreciated. One bedroom is accessed through the master bedroom or a metal spiral staircase. There was no indication of this in descriptions or pictures. This should be made clear to future guests. The kitchen was very usable and adequately stocked. It could use a toaster added for convenience to guests. The location is close to many amenities and was very convenient for our needs.

From the owner: "We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Down by the Bay! Thanks for being a great guest and for leaving a review!"
The house was exactly as described. Very comfortable. It was perfect for our family of 6 with plenty of space to sleep, hangout, and eat. It was clearly well cared for inside and out.
