Reviewer Comments:
The view was spectacular, and lodging was sufficient for our group of 18, but the overall condition, disgusting. Big Daddy’s was selected as our Summer Vacation destination to celebrate 3 Anniversaries (2 x 30 yrs & 1 x 58 yrs), and the first Great Grandbaby/Grandbaby. We traveled in from Austin, San Antonio, Boston, Philly and Charlotte. (Some of us frequent the OBX). To say that our initial impression of the condition and cleanliness of the house was disappointing, is a gross understatement. The general condition of the home was appalling. The kitchen was covered in crumbs, not stocked to accommodate capacity (or 19 adults) we had to purchase a spatula as something clean to use...towels were sparce, floors were dirty, sinks were clogged, shower curtains were moldy, one washing machine was inoperable, pool guy came, checked the chemical and water level, but pool was left very sandy. At first sight, it appeared the house had not been cleaned in quite some time. The entryway windows were cloudy, interior stairs were dirty, countertops were filthy, bathroom floors were covered in hair and dirt, toilets...gross. (we have the photos) The ceiling fans were covered in dust, dirt, maybe pet hair, not certain. We cleaned each one with cleaning supplies we packed, thankfully. Kitchen: The stove was covered in grime, and clearly the countertops were not cleaned prior to our arrival. There was ketchup (or something) in the drawer to the left of the stove, where the oven gloves were also coated in something. The limited kitchen/cooking utensils provided was disappointing (and a struggle) for a home of this size and capacity. Both refrigerators were missing shelves which limited the amount of food and beverages we were able to store. Additionally, the grill was atrocious and NO CLEANING brush was provided as specified in the departing instructions! THE AIR INTAKE VENTS had not been cleaned, it appeared, thick with dirt and dust. The realty mgmt office was notified. T
