Wonderful recharge
Location is marvelous: Quiet, surrounded by nature. The porch alone is worth the stay, and having the beach a mere mile or so down the road? Eliminates questions about what to do (but bring footware!) Challenges: keycode system is insane, and also non-functional. Glad we had the keys instead. Especially as the promised beach towels were still in the cellar. Thanks to Vacasa team for working us through the entry issues. Otherwise? Spectacular location, very comfortable, and surrounded by all sorts of nature. Lovely.
