"Pros: 1.View is amazing 2. House is big enough for 2-3, it was clean, most of the amenities work flawless (except wi-fi), 3. It was good to see some basic kitchen staff (oil, salt, sugar etc. kept), toiletries etc. kept for guests. 4. Host is nice, there was some issue with society wifi (its cluster of villas), so he arranged a separate modem for me. 5. I visited during off-season (Oct-Apr end), so it was nice and secluded, far away from crowd. Cons: 1. Nearest beach is about 500-600 mt, so technically its not "beachfront", and the road to the beach is almost through a jungle with lots of bushes and uphill/downhill. The same shortcut can be difficult to find and it is 1.8 km to reach the same beach in case you want to avoid shortcut. 2. The house is bit secluded - there is no restaurant, supermarket. The closes one is 1.8 km by walk, and supermarket was closed during offseason (Oct-Apr), so if you are not carrying enough food could be difficult. Taxis are super expensive and can't be found easily. 3. There seems to be some issues with wifi, but host gave me a dongle after day 1, which worked pretty well." ~Somnath
