We booked a two bedroom but actually received two one bedroom duplexes with a door between. There were not adequate utensils (no spatula) and very few dishes. The property was right on the side of a very busy street and was not oceanfront like we expected. We had a parking lot behind us, busy street to the side and another road just steps from the front door. One side of the duplex had a mini split not central air and then til would not go cooler than 72 degrees which in our world is too hot to sleep in
