When we first arrived we noticed the rust/mold on the exterior. Entering the property the carpet is old and a bit musty. The floors and countertops were sandy. All of the dishes felt dirty so we rewashed everything before using.
There are holes in the walls and outdated carpet in the stairways. Needs a full paint job.
Several of the sinks didn't drain nor did the tubs. Shower doors felt like they could fall off at any moment and at least one of the faucet handles come off the first time we used it.
A little maintenance, updating and a thorough cleaning would have made our stay great.
The house is large enough and the layout is ok. The living area and dining area are too small for an eight bedroom house so we had to bring more chairs in so we could fellowship. We moved the couch to allow more seating in the living room and two large dead bugs were underneath along with a ton of sand and dirt. Obviously it had not been cleaned underneath in quite some time. It is a tile floor so a simple sweeping underneath would have helped. We walked barefoot on the floor and within the first ten minutes the bottom of our feet were black.
It was great having a pool table but it is out of level and the felt is torn.
Although I mentioned a lot of problems with the place, hence the lower score, the location and overall house is good. We loved that the ocean is within view, albeit very obscured. It was nice to be only a few feet from the beach.
This place has the potential to merit four stars but cleanliness and simple upkeep were definitely lacking!
