Excellent location. In theory great for large family gathering as the home sleeps up to 13 but not great at accommodating 13 awake. We went over Christmas and although weather was great still not the time where you spend the majority of the day at the beach. There is not enough couch space for 13 - only enough for 5. Not enough seats at table inside or outside...which is not a big a deal as the couch space when we tried to watch a movie or football together. The home as amazing views from the huge balcony but no patio furniture for gathering/reclining. There is an outdoor table with chairs maybe 9-10, but not a place to lounge and enjoy the gorgeous views for long periods of time.
The home is older (not a big deal to us as long as space works), but we did have several issues with hvac and electrical numerous days to address and repair. They did respond and have the repairs made but we were without heat one day , the day it took to make repairs, the entire electrical panel was replaced another day one day no hot water. I know these things happen so hopefully the next rental won't have to deal with having repair people everyday, now that so much has been addressed. I happened to be a week that started out cold and warmed up a lot, so heat was needed at night in beginning and AC during day.
Overall great location and space but unless they get some more furniture I don't recommend for large groups even though it can sleep that many and the hot water heater (even when working ) was not enough for everyone to have warm showers - and we were not taking long ones! Definitely need an additional hot water heater to accommodate that many...We only had 8.
