Before you rent this property, be sure you understand how small 550 sq. ft. Is. The second bedroom (which also houses the laundry) is more a hallway between the kitchen and the sitting area. The kitchen has no cupboards or shelves to hold food, so we wound up using the mantelpiece and the kitchen table. This was awkward, since (at 2ft. by 5ft.) the table is the only surface nearly large enough to play board games or work crossword puzzles. There are views of the water from each room, but from the deck you look straight at the garbage dumpster for the neighborhood, and the windows on the other side look directly at the port-a-potties for the public beach. It appears that fewer than half the pictures included in the listing were taken from the property itself. The owner is gracious and the decor is pleasant, but it took us half a day to get TV service, and 2 days to get internet, which was weak and spotty at best. We never understood why a such a large security deposit was required, and after 2 weeks, it still has not been returned.
