Everything was great. An observation that I will pass along is that the plates and glasswear number was very low. It was fine for just me and my wife, but if others had been with us this would have been a larger issue.

The room was nice, however the mattress is the master bedroom was like trying to sleep on a board with lumps in it. I did call the host but never heard back from them so we endured. The location was wonderful and my family had a great time and made a lot of memories. Just wish we could have slept better.

The good first. The location is in Kure away from some of the crowds which is nice. The unit is right on the beach, no real dune to speak of. The unit is obviously older, but it has been updated for the most part. There is some wear and tear here and there, but not a big deal. The freezer ice maker made tons of ice every day so no need to go buy a bag. You could probably also park 3 cars if you squeezed in. Now the negatives. The bed in the master was listed as a queen but was actually a full. It was also very firm which was unfortunate for us since we prefer soft beds. There were no door locks on the master bedroom or bathroom or the guest bedroom. The only interior door that locked was the guest bath. The AC didn't work well in the guest bedroom but there was a large box fan that helped. This has been reported to the management company so I would expect it to be fixed for future guests. There is no outside shower, just a hose connection. The hose for our unit was old and shriveled shut so we had to use the neighbors hose.All in all it was a good unit. If it weren't for the bed size and door locks, I would overlook everything else since they're minor concerns.

Could not access stairs to carry in our luggage for 3 hours upon arrival due to vehicles blocking sides of stairs. Called Bryant Real Estate the next morning and they said we should have called a tow truck....unreal.
