Nice for a budget vacation

A mostly decent place for a couple on a budget (not good for family). Walk to the beach, and access to a nearby outdoor pool and spa was nice.The cabin is advertised as beach front, so we were confused when we arrived and we had the unit in the very back, the furthest from the beach. The neighborhood is rough and there's a lot of trash, and very little grass or area to take the dog to do his business. Some patches of grass near the unit had extremely sharp burs that got caught in our dogs paws and in our shoes and ended up in our feet. The little beach area was nice, but there was broken glass in the sand. The view of the water was largely obstructed by a very large fenced boat/ferry. The inside of the unit was nice, but there was no dining table, just the kitchen bar with bar stools. The unit was very small and not a lot of space or shelving for storage; there are two nightstands in the bedroom with two small drawers each. No hangers in the closet. No actual dresser. The bathroom was challenging because of how small it was and no towel rack or hooks. The toilet moves/sinks when you sit down on it. The kitchen was nice to have, but the freezer drawer doesn't seem to seal well when closed and was frosted. The forks were tiny, but still usable. No knobs on the kitchen drawers so they were hard to open. The place could use more artwork to soften the feel a bit.The unit smelled very bad the last few nights of our stay due to marijuana use from neighbors in an attached unit.
