Summary: Pictures on-line were not accurate as you cannot walk directly across the street to beach. There are houses there now. Rental agency says they will post new ones. Property is dated but comfortable. There were some maintenance issues that had not been addressed which resulted in a fair amount of time speaking with rental agency. The biggest was the back door didn’t lock. We were disappointed to learn they knew about this before our stay but chose not to tell us. Instead they put a sign on the door saying the door didn’t open. It was very unsettling to have to house unlocked when we left and at night (we are from a large city so not our norm). All issues were discussed with rental agency in hopes it will be better for next guest.On the positive side, kitchen is well equipped and the view and access to the bay are wonderful.
