A Celebration

We had a wonderful family 3 night get together. The location of the house right on the water was wonderful- it was rainy and cold while we were there in January, but we still got in walks on the beach. The view was amazing. The house was clean and the bedroom layout worked well for us. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.

Escaping Reality to find household chores still needed.

What a STUNNING home & location. We would love to come back but for the price there were some issues that should be resolved: -Washer & dryer both are dirty. The washer is full of mold in the door frame & in the soap trays. This should be properly cleaned before/after any new people come to stay. -Bunk beds had sand & hair in the sheets. -Bathrooms not properly cleaned. There was still dry soap scum from the previous person who showered all on the doors & walls... there was still hair on the floor of the shower upon arrival. -Most the furniture should probably have a good steaming as there is stains/dirt along most the fabric. -Are the blankets that are available washed between each stay? -More paper products should be at the property, there was not enough paper towels (only 2 rolls) or toilet paper so we had to make a couple of runs to restock for the week. -Silverware drawer really needs a deep cleaning as their is dirt/debris all under the silverware. To make a long story short, this place is awesome but it truly needs a massive deep clean floor to ceiling at the rate they are requesting. The location is breathtaking but the comfort level of feeling like you are in a luxury stay was taken away with the level of care this home is getting between stays.
