Good property with an excellent location

Very communicative owner, nicely done home with an excellent location. House does need house numbers and its name on it. WS a bit weird to try and find then walk onto property just guessing. Only way we knew was the door code worked…The description of the property amenities could use an upgrade….coffee machine, no beach equipment included, bbq is lacking.
