The view and proximity to beach are perfect. The house is in need of a little work. The carpet is the bedrooms is old and just dirty looking. The kitchen could be a little better equipped. There is no dishwasher and the washer and dryer are accessed outside. If you have people renting the upstairs, you will hear them very easily. being close to the city beach, there were more people that just wandered and parked themselves at the private beach area. Although no alcohol is permitted, we saw a couple intoxicated individuals. The one bathroom had been updated and was very nice. Again, walking right out to the beach is awesome but being a duplex was noisy and the house needed some work.
