Great location with potential, but needs TLC and some updates
The location is great—quiet and close to the beach—and the home had plenty of space for us to unpack and settle in for the month. Ann was very kind and responsive throughout our stay.Unfortunately, the previous tenants had clearly left the home in poor condition. While Ann made an effort to clean before our arrival, we ended up spending half a day deep cleaning—dirty pots/pans, unclean toilets, and grimy surfaces. We ultimately left it in better condition than we found it.Several items were broken on arrival: the grill, sofa, master bed frame, and bathroom sink handle. Ann said she was ordering replacements and a plumber was coming, but nothing happened until the 4th and last week of our stay and then only somethings were fixed. The new sofa (which we assembled and moved out the broken one) came 3 days before we left; the plumber came 5 days before checkout. The TV died and a replacement arrived a few days after, which was nice.The lawn is mowed by a nice gentleman, but weed-whacking trimmings with thorns were left behind. I raked the yard so we could safely walk barefoot. The patio table was buried in overgrowth and too dirty to use. This house has great potential, but it needs more consistent upkeep, furniture updates (of the four sofas, only one was truly comfortable), and better turnover cleaning. A partial refund would be fair given the effort we put into making it livable.
