The beach was awesome, secluded, which is hard to find similar anywhere else. If cooking meals, the stove burners need to be upgraded (more level) to be safe. I set the fire alarm off (no smoke - just heat) while cooking a breakfast using the oven and stove top; it went off again with showering, no vent in bathroom so had to leave the door open. Minor stuff.
