The property could use a bit of care and attention. A lot of the fittings have gone rusty from the salt air - not unusual but would be better to change them out so the property looks more cared for. Also the little deck was in need of repair and the garden and outside pots were pretty sad and uncared for. Also would be nice to have a smart TV in the property or let people now so they can bring their own sticks.
