Overall this is a great property and location, it just needs someone to pay attention to some easily fixable details. There were no instructions about what to do with the garbage. I left messages with the mgmnt company twice and no one got back to me until almost the end of our stay. We had bags of garbage sitting in the room for days. We paid a pretty hefty sum to stay here, so I would expect a little higher quality of place.
The good- Excellent location, nice building, and great layout of the room. We really enjoyed our stay.
The bad- room was not cleaned well, I had to sweep twice after check in, and got large piles of sand off the floor. A few other cleaning misses as well. The front closet doors were off track and just hanging there. Some fresh caulking around the tubs/showers etc, would go a long way. The cookware is terrible, old stainless steel, worn out pans. I bought a new non-stick pan just so we could cook breakfast without it sticking (which we left behind for the next guests to enjoy). Owners could easily replace it all for less than $100. There is an iron, but no ironing board. The boogie boards that were available for use, are so old and busted up, that we had to go buy new ones (which we also left behind). The curtains were falling off and didn't work well. There are blackout type curtains in the second bedroom, but not the master. The sun comes up on the master side, so it was bright as day in there by 6:30am- so much for sleeping in on vacation.
These small details are easily fixable for a few hundred dollars, and some attention from the owners or management company. They could have been the difference between a 3 star and 5 star rating. This could be an amazing rental property, if someone just took the time to keep on top of these simple items before they become an issue. Thank you.
