The home was beautiful and clean. The bedroom I slept in initially had a VERY firm bed so I had to move beds but the others were comfortable and other quests said they were comfortable. Great beach view and extremely easy access to the beach.

Excellent place, great location, very clean! Only complaints are that the lock on the front door entry was weird. The host had to come and unlock for me while my groceries melted. There was more than one lock box and the codes given did not work. I suggest one panel on the door. No instructions said to look for a post.

Thank you for your review of Seas the Day. I’m glad the location and cleanliness met your expectations. I’m very sorry for the trouble with the front door lock, the lockbox codes, and the delay with your groceries — that’s not the experience we want guests to have. I’ll share your feedback with our maintenance team and the owner so we can simplify the entry (and update the arrival instructions and signage to make the post easier to find. We appreciate the 4‑star rating and hope to host you again for a 5‑star stay.

Great Views!

This was a great home! I was a little taken aback regarding the power at first. The circuit breaker kept tripping or some outlets and lights were not working, but once we figured out where the main circuit breaker was and was able to reset it, we were great! The home was a nice getaway for my birthday. My family and I enjoyed the hot tub and the beach.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Rusted microwave inside top to bottom: disgusting and not usable. None of the sinks had stoppers in the drains, mildew and mold in top bdrm and 2nd bathroom and bedroom. Transition board from 3rd floor bedroom to bathroom was loose and a trip hazard. No serving dishes or utensils. Washer machine had mold and stunk horribly. Dryer was very hard to get door closed.Rusty nails on patio chair and only 2 of 6 chairs on second deck were safe to use. Outdoor shower also had rusty nail. Maintenance was told about it and still did not fix. Furniture was horribly stained and soiled. We covered with linens. Bolivar Rentals has NEVER returned any of my calls or texts. Only communication was through email.Photo on website were NOT anything like reality. BBQ Pit was unable to be used. There was hazardous waste and debris on lower deck. There were weeds covering the white stones and the fire pit was nothing even close to photo. We had to move the stones and re-build to use. Majority of the window blinds did not work. The refrigerator had a broken drawer, the freezer had a missing shelf. Wr notified Bolivar of all this and only came out to repair 4 chairs; stating all the other problems were noted. We found out this house rental is operated by people in another country. I will never EVER rent from Bolivar Rentals again.
