The Place to Bee is a nice home and we found it as pictured. Nicely outfitted kitchen, beach supplies, and games. Overall, however, we were disappointed with the cleanliness, a major ant problem, and the response of the Beachwalk staff. Here are the details: When we arrived at the home, we noted the following cleanliness issues: Hairs in the bathtub, potholders in the kitchen drawer caked with food chunks, dusty corners in every room, the master bedroom fabric bed frame was soiled with yellow and brown stains, there were only old/used sponges for cleaning/washing dishes, a slatted wood piece of furniture in the master bathroom was caked between the slats with dust and hair (and this was the only surface for storing toiletries as there was no counter top). Additionally, the house has a major ant problem. We were killing ants and/or finding dead ants everywhere. When I swept the floor (which I had to do multiple times), I swept up dozens of dead ants.After checking in on Sunday evening, I called Monday morning to the office to report these issues. I was told by the staff person that she would discuss my concerns with her manager and they would follow up. By Wednesday midday, when no one had followed up, I stopped into to the office and related the entire list of concerns again. I was asked rather brusquely by the staff person, "What do you want me to do? Refund some of your cleaning fee?" While that was fine and appreciated, there was no apology for the condition of the property nor for the lack of follow up. She did not write anything down, nor did I get a sense that she planned to relay my concerns to the cleaning staff.Other notes: The house is in the far back corner of the Beachwalk property, which gives it a bit more privacy and shade, but it's a trek to the pool and beach. The Beachwalk coffee shop had hours listed of 7a-7p daily, but was never open while we were there.
