Cozy, but the family room, dining room, and kitchen give an open-concept feel. 3/4 panoramic views, though I mentioned to the host that he may want to put up blinds, as there are neighbors on both sides who can likely see into family room and dining room.
Very quiet area. We hardly ever saw anyone else on the beach any closer than 75 yards (and we had some gorgeous, warm days there in late March).
The home is relatively well taken care of, but as I mentioned to the host, it needs some small touches to make it better (e.g. an updated grill, bedside lamps in all the rooms, beach towels, versus the bath towels we used).
Great location, as grocieries and restaurants in Vilano are 8 miles away, there’s a gas station (which also has basic sundries) a half mile away, and no public beach access nearby, which my partner and I have learned makes a HUGE difference on a beach rental experience.
Overall, I’d recommend this home for sure. Hopefully if we book again, some of the minor issues I shared with the host will be fixed or addressed.
