Almost perfect
We enjoy staying at Special Purpose with this being our 2nd time to rent this property. As noted in the title of this review it was "almost perfect"! The items that could have made it perfect were:
1. Find a different cleaner to clean the house. The odor from the cleaning solution used was overpowering when we entered.
2. A few simple instructions on how to unlock and lock the front door would be great. Keyless entries with not having to fuss with a key are good but if you haven't used it before you are flying blind!
3. The property manager was great and very responsive to our inquiries and requests. The biggest issue we encountered were the bikes that were to be used by the guests. We were told the property came with 2 bikes. Guess what there were 4 and only one operational, 2 w/almost flat tires and 1 with the crank sitting on the ground. Kind of a bust! The response we received was there are only 2 bikes at the property. Yep we can count! The property manager sent someone to repair the unusable bike with the repair lasting for one short ride to the beach. Had to call them again and finally it got fixed.
4. Maybe it's a function of Covid but the rental homes seem to be void of any essentials for cooking beyond pots and pans. No seasonings, foil, etc. Luckily, we finally found the coffee filters buried in a drawer.
We do enjoy this property but a few, small items would go a long way to make it great!
