I rented this home for a week, traveling with adult children and an 18 month old. There are some very strong points about this home, as well as some areas that require owners attention with respect to detail, management, and maintenance updates.
The strong points of this home are the backyard, the overall layout of rooms with bedrooms on the second floor, and walking distance to the beach. Neighborhood felt safe and was quiet at night. Additionally, in speaking with the neighbors, they were very nice and friendly.
However, this home was not properly cleaned. I received notification from the owner 20 minutes before we were to check in that cleaning people had not even yet arrive and âwere running lateâ. In retrospect, it is very apparent that they did a very quick and poor cleaning job. I.e We found dirty linens in the closet, dishes were grimy, and the backyard appeared to have no clean up finding ashes, cigarette butts all over, and filth in the backyard garden beds.
The big selling point of this home apparently is the fire pit in the backyard. HOWEVER, it was broken and did not operate. Additionally, there was no propane for the grill as well. In reaching out to the owner - no one EVER got back to me. This was a huge disappointment and red flag in renting any home.
At one point during our stay, when the landscaper was there, we lost all water supply to the home. Fortunately, the landscaper was very helpful and instrumental in getting the water turned back on.
Despite many small items not being up to par, we still had a good time in this home and in the area. I would want to encourage the owner to pay more attention to details, cleaning, and regular maintenance updates.
