Not at all

Kitchen with oil, salt, pepper sauce. No need to buy anything for short staying. Host is very thoughtful. Even prepared with coffee. Bed is very comfortable. I have sleeping problem. But I slept very well when I stayed.

Perfect short get away. Cozy little house with everything we needed . Only a few steps away from the beach for a lovely Xmas morning walk and a great cooked breakfast . Amazing value.

The hosts are really lovely and very helpful. You feel very welcome as soon as you arrive. The location is really unique. The beach is only a two-minute walk away and there is a small store just five minutes away. The house is really nicely furnished and you feel at home. Downstairs is a small kitchen with dining area, where games are also kindly provided and upstairs is a cozy bedroom where you can sleep comfortably with at least two people in it. In addition to the beautiful facilities that the house has to offer, the hosts also have a lot to offer. The owner is always in a good mood and is originally from the UK. He runs an English language school in his house and you can also book private lessons with him. There is also the option of an authentic British breakfast in the morning for a reasonable price. The house is perfect for a weekend getaway to escape the stresses of everyday life and relax. It is also the perfect option for a romantic weekend by the ocean.

Chris is a wonderful host. It’s convenient to many wonderful attractions. Two amazing Aquarium worlds. Amazing waterfalls. And great coastline.

The access by train although possible and not a long walk from the JR station , can be a hassle if you come with suitcases.

The hosts and their pets are very nice and friendly. Their English breakfast offering is a very nice hospitality and a must try. The house itself is cozy and comfy, close to the beach and equipped with amenities good for a few days to a few weeks of stay. The location of the house is easily accessible from the local toad and JR line. However, I would recommend the road access. This place can be a good hub for exploring the Tohoku areas. The host do provide their own Kei Car for rent as well if you are here just for a short stay.

Nothing.

The apartment was very well set up with a spacious tatami room with enough beds for four upstairs, and a well appointed loving area downstairs. It was the perfect set up for a family of four. Also, really close to 7-11 and a nice walking trail along the coast.

Nothing, all wonderful

A wonderful beach house. Very conveniently located with the beach a one minute walk, 7-Eleven two minutes and the train station 5 minutes. The house was very comfortable and had everything you could need. Bed was comfortable, shower was hot, WiFi signal was strong. We loved the beach. Check in was very easy even though we booked last minute. And the host, we didn't meet him though he was very friendly and welcoming. We can highly recommend Elm.

The bed might be to small for 2 people and one toddler but this is very minor since there are futons available.

The property is very near to the beach. It is around a minute walk only. The place is bug enough to accommodate around 4 people. It has everything that you need to have a comfortable stay. Also, the owner is fluent in English so it was easy for us to communicate for us with very little knowledge on Japanese. But the owner can also speak Japanese.

Poor communication — most messages went unanswered AC units didn’t work and were covered in dust Kitchen shelves and mugs were sticky; kitchen fan extremely dirty Asked to sleep on futons on the kitchen floor — not sanitary Bathroom blinds had black mould Bed linen had holes and tears Duct tape on floors and electrical equipment Bright exterior lights left on at night and noise past 10:30pm Thin curtains in the bedroom and bright sunlight from sunrise waking everyone up at 5am Lacked hygiene

Hosts kindly accommodated our late check-in Fresh lettuce gift on arrival (though we didn’t get to eat it) Flowers along the front path were a nice touch Private house Proximity to the beach and a walking path (can go for a jog along the coast)

The living room is very small, furniture is not comfortable and in bad shape, too many things in the house that are not necessary.

The location is great, near the beach and good restaurants.
