Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
The property and house layout was nice. Easily accommodated our family of 5. Nice decor and comfortable furniture. However, we had several problems with what was provided in the house. Management responded in a timely manner to text messages but did not resolve or address any of the issues despite stating that they would take if things right away. 1) very limited pots, pans, general kitchen tools. The 3 pots provided were scratched and pitted teflon coated - unsafe for use. We had to buy additional 150 of kitchen items including skillet, sauce pan, large stock pot, steamer and lids. Management said they would bring new pots right away but they never came 2) the grill was not working, two empty tanks, very dirty grill. Management said they would fix - they never came. We could not grill seafood or burgers as we had planned 3) very few blankets, if you need extra, bring your own.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home’s layout, décor, and comfortable furnishings. We sincerely apologize that the kitchen supplies, grill, and management response did not meet expectations. We understand how frustrating it must have been to purchase additional cookware and discover that the grill was unusable, especially after contacting us for help. Your comments have been shared with our team so the kitchen inventory, grill equipment, and follow-up procedures can be thoroughly addressed. We appreciate your detailed feedback and hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide the stay you expected.
It was exactly as advertised. Very clean in a quiet location and close to the ocean.
