Critical review, but in the end, we did not regret our time there.
Hello! This is from a critically picky person who has traveled all over the US and seen many places over the past 20 years. I am honest with my reviews or I would be a worthless reviewer for both owner and potential guest. :). Both positive and negative suggestions are always put forth with a good heart.
The good:
-We can tell that the owners DO care about people who stay at the home by what was provided.
-We appreciated the K-cups for coffee and ESPECIALLY the Splenda! That was very thoughtful.
-Decor was adorable.
-Nice appliances.
-Counters and appliances cleaned well.
-good and comfortable bed linens
-comfortable enough for me king bed
-Deck well swept and comfortable.
-Good furniture, especially the couch! -Sweet, sweet community! Good for relaxing and water sports.
-BEAUTIFUL views!
-Nice little beach “nooks” that we found on each side near the property.
-Old condos, but very well maintained property!
- I was happy to see that the kitchen sponge was new and still in its package
-good clean towels provided
- I don’t take very long showers, but I never ran out of hot water and the shower felt clean- a real plus!
- our 2 teen girls were happy- all they needed was the beach!
The scary:
- I don’t like community hand soap, even the liquid form. Ewe.
- some wall areas, baseboards, all floors and carpeting were absolutely filthy. I can’t help but notice corners and hard floor surfaces in every place I stay. That is a good indicator of how much care goes into cleaning a space. That is the main reason I wouldn’t be comfortable staying here a second time.
- when we were there, it got up to 84 degrees. The air conditioning struggled to cool the upstairs and became uncomfortable for us to sleep that night. I can’t imagine how bad it would be during the long summer. It could not make it below 73-74 which for us, is very warm to sleep in. That’s a big deal.
- inside some drawer areas in the kitchen were not very clean. They still had unidentified “stuff”/crumbs hanging around in them.
- from what I could see, bathrooms only had one hand towel available. It would be nice to have a second one available for each bathroom.
- the living room TV lagged so badly, that we couldn’t use it. It’s nice to wind down and watch a movie a night for us.
What would make this a 5 star for me:
- first, there is no such thing as perfection, so I base this on what I feel could be attainable and what could gain income for the owners by making their home a more respected and appealing place for guests. More highly positive/detailed reviews= more guests who relate to these posts and will pay to stay there!
- fix the problem areas that were suggested
- provide a few more towels
- provide new hand soaps
- I didn’t see salt and pepper, so if there isn’t any, providing packets would be pretty cool.
How to have fun here:
- beach areas
- rent paddle boards for the day
- use this place for relaxing
- dine outside of resort
- goodPlace 2jog
