I didn't expected that. i mean like i'm really satisfied. i'm actually building a beach side and searched for an house. i found this one and its really a surprise. first she is lovely and colorful and second thing is that she is functional (i choose main model on the picture). its a perfect house to put with the beach minifigs set. i really liked beside the house the way they made the bird and the cute turtle. the palm tree is original. in the inside you have a small aquarium with a single fish, a chair and a "roof fan". On my own opinion it doesn't need to be larger. it stay a cabin and also a fishing and rest spot. as i can its not something that you can use as real house, but as additional part of a real one. its very easy and quick to build. nothing special or complicated. the price is correct but i wouldn't paid much for it because even if it's look lovely the amount of pieces is not that big and you could easily designed this alone with condition that you have enough parts for it.
