Our stay was pretty good! Host was really good at communicating and there were very simple check out instructions. We did have some issues with lighting and outlets and the WiFi was not working when we attempted to connect our devices. But overall it was pretty clean and had everything we needed.

It met our needs, but wasn't impressive. I was afraid to put my crawling baby on the floor because the carpets were disgusting. Every single corner of every rug was curled up and very easy to trip over. It reeked of Marijuana but I think that was because the people in the other unit smoked on the porch 24/7. The front porch, which belongs to the other unit, is literally right outside of one of the bedrooms, so if the curtains aren't closed all the way you can easily see in and out. I'm pretty sure there was dried blood on the door frame of one of the bedrooms and when we washed clothes the machine was full of sand. We didn't know until they were washed so when we got them out they were covered. We hadn't been to the beach. We understand that this is an old home, but it was "remodeled" very poorly and seemed to just be thrown together quickly. Like putting lipstick on a pig. We seriously contemplated going home a day early. We won't return here and wouldn't recommend, I'm sorry.

Thank you for your rating. I'm sorry your stay at the property didn’t meet expectations — we take every comment seriously. I apologize for the cleanliness and maintenance issues you described (carpet condition and curled rugs, sand in the washer, possible dried blood on the doorframe, and the odor). This is unacceptable. We will arrange a deep clean, inspect and repair or replace rugs, investigate the washer and the doorframe, and address the smoking/privacy concerns with the other unit and our team. If you’re willing, please share any photos or additional details via Vrbo messages so we can take immediate action and improve for future guests.
