Although being in the middle of nowhere, that's the point of a vacation so I had no issues with the location at all. Literally steps from the sand which is perfect! Other than the stove and fridge, the house was dated back to maybe the 90's which wasn't a huge deal and accommodated our family of 5 very well. I will say though the listing does NOT mention not having AC in the unit which wasn't a huge problem since we had unusually cold days (mid 60s) the whole week, however, if you're going in the summer higher than 75 degrees, this will likely be an issue for you. Also, there was a very strong aroma of a dead fish smell inside the unit. When we contacted the owner, they told us to open windows and spray something which I felt was an unacceptable response to this issue. This is a ground unit with people on 3 sides, the walls/ceiling were paper thin and we heard EVERYTHING. A lot of banging, music, people talking, furniture moving around, etc. This was only a big deal when it was really early in the morning or really late at night though. As far as grocery shopping, your best bet is FoodMaxx as it's more like regular grocery stores across the country. Loved having a Starbucks close by! We had a great relaxing vacation.
