We rented this house for just short of a month. We feel totally ripped off, this wasn’t a cheap place to stay and everything there was subpar. Floor was so dirty our feet were black, we don’t wear shoes indoors so this was unacceptable. The table was so scarred up and worn they threw an old oilcloth cover on it. The couches smelled terrible of urine, the two side chairs were old and dirty. The vacuum cleaner was taped together and spewed more dust than it sucked up. Broom was taped together. Not to mention the cockroaches. We’ve been renting homes on the beach for years and this one is number 2 on the worst list. If you decide to rent this plan on absolutely no amenities. Not even a pod of coffee for your first morning.
Cockroach in bathroom sink.
This is how the dryer lint filter looked upon us checking in. Top of dryer all rusted and scratched up.
Taped together vacuum.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. I’m very sorry to hear about your experience — this is absolutely not the standard we strive to provide, and I completely understand your frustration. Cleanliness, comfort, and basic amenities are non-negotiable for us, and it’s clear we fell short during your stay. We take reports like yours very seriously and will be reviewing your comments with our housekeeping and maintenance teams to address the issues with floors, furniture, appliances, and pests immediately. We also apologize for the lack of basic starter amenities like coffee — that should have been provided. We understand that your stay did not meet expectations and sincerely regret that. Your feedback will help us make necessary improvements to ensure future guests do not have a similar experience. – Amanda with Prickett Properties
