Beach Weekend
Everything was good - location, overall layout and amenities, etc. Nice to have the pingpong table as well. I've been in the vacation rental business in the past, and the only issues I want to mention is that the floors were not clean when we checked in, and I think it's fairly typical to have some kind of body wash product for guest use, and some oven mitts. The houses on either side are quite a bit closer than it appears when looking at the house from the road, so there is potential for noise, including the neighbors having a late-night Monopoly game that was distracting.
