While we enjoyed the location of this house (3 min walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk to south beach marina/salty dog), it is in major need of TLC. Upon arrival, we called vacation company to let them know that the windows were extremely dirty (to the point you couldn’t see through them) and halfway through our stay, the keypad stopped working and we were locked out. To the Vacation Company’s credit, in each instance they sent someone right away and each of these issue was promptly resolved. We also loved the pool (although it is in need of cleaning), and the size was perfect for a family of 5.
Upon check out, I let the company know of the following issues that we noticed throughout our stay so that they can be remedied for future guests.
1. General cleanliness- house smelled musty upon arrival/floors and counters were dusty.
2. Dining room table Light bulb needs replacing
3. Dog hair all over couch
4. Shower head in middle room needs replacing
5. Microwave button and door need to be fixed.
6. Ice maker makes ice but doesnt dispense through door
7. Stove - No labels on the stove and kept turning off.
8. Master Closet door doesnt close
9. Return Vents filthy
10. Bottom of Pool is very dirty, as is the surrounding pool deck (full of dirt).
11. Bunk room dresser drawer needs to be fixed.
12. There was tons of lint in dryer (fire hazard)
13. Need chair felt pads on kitchen chairs. They are very difficult to move on the tile.
14. Dryer doesnt fully dry. Takes at least two cycles even on the hottest/longest setting.
Also note there is no child lock on the patio door so consider bringing your own or better yet, the house should come with one.
I think this house definitely has the potential to be a 4/5 star house given its amazing location and great pool if the above items are addressed.
