**Mixed Experience at Norfolk Beach Rental**Great beachfront location with convenient shore access and good layout for families. However, several maintenance and cleanliness issues impacted our stay.**Areas for Improvement:** Found unlocked door upon arrival, exposed electrical wiring near TV, non-functioning ice maker, plumbing issues in lower bathroom with leaking tub and faulty faucets. Rear storm door doesn't close properly. Sand in bed linens suggested they weren't freshly laundered, vacuum was full and unusable, stains on staircase carpeting. Kitchen had ant problem with old, ineffective traps.**Practical Notes:** WiFi information provided was incorrect. Limited beach equipment - only one functional chair available. Several damaged mirrors throughout, including safety hazards.**Additional Fees:** Pet fees (120) charged after booking rather than disclosed upfront.**Overall:** While the beachfront location is excellent, the property needs thorough maintenance attention and improved cleaning standards. The historic charm mentioned in the listing doesn't excuse basic safety and cleanliness issues. Future guests should set expectations accordingly.
