good house, good location

This is a good house, major appliances worked well, in a quiet location close to beach and well-stocked IGA supermarket. Bedrooms are well separated from living room and kitchen/dining area. We particularly appreciated the empty shelf in a kitchen cupboard, the sturdy rack for hanging towels, the good supply of hot water, and the well-functioning clothes dryer. Only drawback: if you have respiratory allergies, be aware that all rooms but the kitchen have fragrance sticks in aromatic oils, and that they fail to mask the various smells in the house.
