Summary: My girlfriends and I wanted to find a reasonably priced rental in the Empire area that would allow us to walk into town and also the beach this home checked off all those boxes! It was very clean, had comfortable beds and was on a quiet street a block from the beach. We missed not having a full length mirror and a small table on the back deck to set our coffee cups on, (we ended up using our cooler) but otherwise it had most of the essentials a person would need for a weekend trip. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was the awful toilet paper that was offered. I’ve never had this experience before where I needed to purchase t.p. while renting a vacation home, but I did. Please buy a better brand or recommend that your renters bring their own.
