We loved our stay! 600 ft walk to community pool, double that to the Gulf. The property was great. Some stains on carpet but otherwise great. Gated community so we needed to make sure we had our gate codes with but no issues. The community pool was wonderful

We arrived to find the outdoor trash cans overflowing with garbage. We made sure to let the property owner know that we arrived to find the living room TV remote without a back & a hole in the front door screen. The next morning we found a back patio full of broken glass (while we were barefoot) & beer bottle caps. The property management immediately sent someone to clean up thankfully. Property management also noticed extremely low hanging trees that should have been trimmed hanging over the driveway. They sent someone the next day to cut back the trees. Overall, we were happy with the property & the communication, however we would have wished for better housekeeping before arriving. Thank you for letting us enjoy your property. We did our best to treat your home as if it were ours.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for bringing these issues to our attention. We sincerely apologize that the property's condition upon arrival did not meet expectations. Overflowing trash, broken glass on the patio, and the maintenance items you noted should have been addressed before your check-in. We're grateful that you notified us right away, allowing our team to respond promptly and resolve the issues during your stay. We're pleased to hear that our communication and responsiveness were appreciated, but we agree that better preparation and housekeeping would have created a much better first impression. Thank you for your understanding and for treating the home with such care and respect. We truly appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our processes moving forward. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
