suggestions
on arrival i was unable to open the screen door with the key we gained entry via the back door once inside i observed the screen door had been locked from inside preventing me from opening it from outside i would suggest that the screen door is left unlocked or advise guests to enter via the back door also suggest installing fly screens on windows to access fresh air and minimise use of air conditioner

Short Getaway
Over all, it was a great place to stay especially having a Dog. The kids enjoyed it and as adveritsed it is a Fisherman's getaway. One of the beds was covered in baby powder with dirty sheets (slept on top of the bed). Instructions were clear about check in. Ideal for a boys getaway.

Needs some updating
Overall the house was value for money but could do with some updating and maintenance such as the bunk bed. Outside entertaining area could do with a thorough cleaning this was very messy! If you are going to have two showers and toilets in the same area it would be good to have doors on the showers or a least a lock on the bathroom door.
