Nice place; could use some updating

Place offered a good layout for my family to convene. Could use some towel hooks and wine glasses, and some furniture on the back porch. Property manager was very responsive when door code didn’t work.

Nice Location. Property needs work.

I don't enjoy giving negative reviews, but this property in its current state does not earn 5 stars and needs updating. The porch railing is broken on the end, and the landscape is outdated with a partially constructed shed in the back yard. The motor in one of the bedroom ceiling fans is loud and appears worn out. There are no hooks in bathroom #2 for hanging either bath or hand towels. The vanity top in the master bathroom is cracked, the towel bar is too low so not able to hang two towels without covering the toilet paper, and the shower curtain fell twice because the rod loosens up. The cookware in the kitchen is worn and warped. The house is located in a quiet location, we found the house properly cleaned when we arrived, and the pool is properly maintained.

Unkept and Dirty, Flip Home

The cleaning service was still at the house when we arrived. We didn’t get in the house until after 4:30pm and they were still there. Once they left, it was easy to see that the place was not clean. The rugs hadn’t been vacuumed, there were crumbs and hair still on the floor in the main room and in bedrooms, the sliding glass doors were smeared all over, the couches had visible wet food spots on it (it looked like cat vomit), there was a rolled up plastic bag and a dead bug in one of the cupboards and one of the rooms still wasn’t fully made up. I immediately went to find something to clean the floors with as I have an infant that crawls around and all I could find was a dirty broom and a Bissle Crosswave that was filled with hair and debris. The main bathroom had two fixtures completely broken off the wall and were a hazard. There were also no hand towels. We went outside and there was (what looked to be) a rib bone in the lanai/pool area which is a hazard to my dog. Later I found more rib bones in the yard. The yard was not kept which is disappointing. I wouldn’t let my kids play back there and didn’t even like my dog being out there. There were several poop piles around the perimeter of the yard that were clearly old. The landscaping was also pretty ripped up. There were some accommodations for a baby which was nice as nothing was advertised, but they were not clean. I did appreciate the responsiveness from Kelly (property manager) and her efforts to find solutions.

On the road

Enjoyed our stay, we are on the road with work half the year and it’s always nice to find a house to stay in. At least feels a little bit more like home.
