Upon arrival, there was no hot water, no internet and no cable access. It turns out that the gas for the water heater was empty and there had been a local cable outage in the area. All things were corrected the second day. I must say that James, the caretaker, and the maid were very nice and helpful.
You should let guests know that there is an elementary school across the street. During school days, from 8 AM to 3 PM, it can be quite noisy.
When the maid had cleaned prior to our arrival, she had put mothballs in all of the drawers and cabinets; kitchen, both bathrooms, both bedrooms and hall linen closet drawers. It left an overwhelming smell. The maid, on our request, removed the mothballs and scrubbed the kitchen drawers and cabinets the next day. But the smell lingered the remainder of our week.
During our stay, I changed several light bulbs and had to re-light the gas water heater pilot light twice.
Recommendations;
1. Have some fold up beach chairs that guests can take to the beach. (We left two behind as a gift to the house.)
2. Have a toaster in the kitchen.
3. Use small roach traps instead of moth balls. (We also left those behind for the house.)
Recommendations for the property manager;
1. Before your guests arrive, check that there is gas for the water heater and that the water is hot.
2. Check that the internet and cable are working.
3. Do a check on the orderliness of the house.
With the above taken care of, we generally enjoyed our stay, Peter Buermann
