We enjoyed our time at the beach and overall, were a bit disappointed with the overall cleanliness and upkeep of the property. Below are pros, cons and general notes for future renters.
Pros:
- House is very spacious; we had 9 guests and never did we feel cramped
- Screened in porch was great to sit out and enjoy a bug free evening
- The volleyball setup and canoes were a great source of fun for the family.
- 5-10 minute walk to the beach and 15-30 min drive to a variety of shopping, dining and entertainment options
- WiFi and Smart TV, Board Games were great especially when there was inclement weather. Internet speeds were great.
- Pots and Pans, Plates, Silverware were plentiful.
Cons:
- Overall Cleanliness: Outside of house needs pressure washing (bugs all over the front exterior of the house, thorough vacuuming of all the floors, carpets and rugs)
- Pest Control Service - we had ants that caused us to throw away a couple food items
- Replace carpeting or deep clean rugs and carpeting on stairs
- A/C works inconsistently
NOTES:
- Microwave handle sticks so you must pull with some force. Heating food is not intuitive.
- Oven is extremely slow to preheat (which is noted in the welcome binder)
- Fans in screened in porch are nice but not super effective.
- Loose, Noisy Ceiling Fan in Kitchen
- Dryer is a fire hazard; the lint build up in the dryer vent is blocked.
- Volleyball net needs replaced and volleyball needs air.
- Outdoor furniture in the backyard needs re-finished and/or re-painted.
-Vacuum had not been emptied in months as evident by everything I had to remove from it before being able to use it.
