This property has a lot going for it. The location is fantastic — just a short walk to the beach and convenient to shops, restaurants, and local attractions. The home is spacious and easily accommodates large groups, making it a good option for families or multiple couples traveling together. We also appreciated the renovated kitchen, which was modern, and the beach supplies provided were a helpful bonus.However, there were several issues that impacted our stay. The home was not thoroughly cleaned before our arrival — we found old water bottles under the couch, dust bunnies throughout the house, and cigarette butts outside by the pool and on the front porch. The towels were stained, some smelled of smoke and did not feel clean. The pool area did not drain, even on days it did not rain. Anytime it was used, standing water remained in deep puddles around the area, making it slippery or sloshed back into the pool leaving the water dirty. It required daily pushing of water out the door. The washing machine did not work at all during our stay. While the owner communicated well and acknowledged the issue, it was never fixed, which created an inconvenience for our group.In summary, while the home has great potential and the owner was responsive, the cleanliness, pool drainage and lack of basic functioning appliances were a drawback. With better upkeep and attention to detail, this could be a fantastic rental, especially given its location.
