Truthfully want to write an honest review and while it was good overall there were definite things that could be fixed. I’d contact the owner about them as a few updates would make this a five star stay.
We stayed here with adults, a teenager and 3 little ones, one under 1.
Pros:
We walked in and the house was clean and tidied up. There was extra toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, toiletries in the bathrooms and working appliances. My kids loved the extra trundle bed and we appreciated the many extra clean blankets in the closets and the fold up playpen.
The location is a traffic light across from the beach, just off A1A! You cannot beat that unless you stay in a beachside rental. That convenience was the best, we loved it! Publix was less than 5 minutes up the road too.
It came equipped with everything you’d need to take along to the beach as well. Little things you may overlook, like frisbees, beach bags and extra towels were all clean and ready.
When we got back the home had working washer/dryer to toss our laundry and it was full of puzzles, games and a pool table to unwind with after. Everyone appreciated the attention to details and the outdoor grill!
Cons:
You are staying on A1A. The road is LOUD. Obviously this cannot be fixed, but be aware if you aren’t used to being on a busy road it will be heard at every hour (especially at night, bedrooms are roadside). We used sound machines in the rooms and they made no difference in minimizing the noise.
The kitchen had many roaches from behind the stove. Also be aware that “pet friendly with a fee” could bother allergy sufferers. Think it’s the old living room rug.
The house has two AC units. One of which (the upstairs and poolroom) was not working properly. We kept cranking it up and it kept reading 65, it was uncomfortably cold!
While there were more than enough beds, they are not comfortable at all and rickety. Everyone complained of being sore the next morning.
The internet/cable went out on our first morning there (outdoor cameras went out). We had to contact the owner who was out of town because Spectrum wouldn’t speak to us directly. It was never restored during our stay. Big bummer.
The DVD player in the living area was not working either. My husband spent way too much time attempting to get a movie on for the kids and eventually he jiggled cables until on our last day it FINALLY worked.
