Ok, let’s get right to it!
Pros:
Right on the beach
Gorgeous views
House looks just as pictured
3 full baths - plenty of hot water
Lots of beach toys for the kids
There are beach chairs and mats (some of the chairs are old, however)
The hose to rinse off after the beach is located very conveniently at the bottom of the stairs of the deck
The couch in the living room was very comfy
The table was great for eating together and playing games
The king bed in the master was very comfortable
The pull out sofa in the same room was nice for my kids to sleep in while my husband and I slept in the king bed
There was a great view from that room as well and the balcony off that bedroom was nice because it was private
The bikes in the garage were fun for the group and were used daily (1 had a broken seat, but there were 4 total)
The fridge was spacious and was able to fit multiple families’ food
The washer and dryer was great
The decor is beautiful
2 car garage was very handy and helpful
Cons:
Cleaning service only did an “ok” job - I had to scrub the small, round table in the living room myself because it had something caked on it and the floor had multiple dirty areas, looking as if it had not been mopped - this left me wondering how well they sanitized so I ended up spending the first 15 minutes I was there wiping down frequently touched services with a Clorox wipe
Poor communication between the owner/property manager - when we first arrived, there was a man upstairs on the deck working - we left, thinking maybe they weren’t ready for us - we waited patiently outside but the man never came back out. We went back up and just asked him if we could go ahead and check in - he said he didn’t mind, that he was the maintenance man and he was just there to put together a new grill - the new grill is nice - but we weren’t told at all he’d be there
Odd window from the shower to the master bedroom - had to hang up a sheet for privacy
Tub would not drain well
Broken AC upstairs - so it was warm
Exhaust fan in bathroom broken - I see this has been commented on already so not sure why it hasn’t been fixed
Outdoor lights broken - called for repair - no one came
Other non-functioning items like fans, lights and smoke detectors pulled off the ceiling
No privacy at all on the deck! I highly suggest something because this was a huge bummer with the annoying neighbors
Would stay again despite the cons
