Disliked: Cleanliness
The pctures are old and dont reflect how the property looks now. The kitchen is all odds and ends, the drawers have dirt in them and we had to wash everything before using them. The floors are sloped and uneven, the walls all need to be painted. When someone rents the other half of the house, the whole house is constantly moving and your bed shakes. It gives you motion sickness. The main bathroom has alot of drawers and they are all painted shut, so you cant use them. The shower has no enamel and should be in the dump. Door handles just hanging, sinks all drain slow. Every wall and closet doors dirty. This house needs alot of TLC

Cleanliness

The location was great however, I never stayed at a facility where I had to clean the property first. Pee and hair in both bathrooms. Sofa was never cleaned some kind of sticky stuff with a long hair was on the seat. Jelly stains on the refrigerator door. Floor smelled like wet dog (see mop picture) Shower water never drained in the small bathroom. The unit desperately needs fresh paint. Times are hard and my spouse offered to pay an expensive vacation for a property that did not meet the standards of what the website displayed. I was embarrassed and disappointed to have wasted

Needs updating

Few issues with this property, the back door was unlocked when we arrived, both bathroom sinks drain VERY slowly and pictures show closet door in bunk room but it is missing. Positive for this house is location, walking distance to everything.

Sweet spot!

Only 3 blocks to the beach! GREAT - location, yard, neighborhood, parking, water pressure and very spacious. A starter supply of one roll of TP, paper towels, 2 packets of dishwasher det. and one garbage bag was all that was supplied. Suggest brining or buying anything additional needed including liquid dish soap.

We enjoyed our stay. House met all of our needs. Kids loved the back screened in deck. Super close to all the down town shops and public beach areas. I only gave 4 stars on cleanliness because I had to mop when we arrived. We will definitely consider staying again.
