Communication with host was spotty. I didn’t receive check-in instructions until I requested on the day of check-in. When we arrived, we found that there wasn’t a bulb in the one bedroom lamp, the one and only shelf in the bathroom was hanging on its side by one nail and there were no batteries in the light up mirror in the bathroom. None of these are a big deal but I did expect them to be corrected. I messaged host and they responded that they would try to have someone out the next day. That didn’t happen and I never heard back from anyone. The bathroom was warm with no ventilation. Air conditioning is provided by window units. Luckily, we met family at the beach and showered at their condo.

Very clean property. Communication with host was excellent. I’m not sure if I missed it in the listing but the bedroom/bathroom situation was a little strange. You had to walk through a bedroom to get to the other bedroom and bathroom. A little strange for our group as we had two couples.

very clean/cute but had issues
the home itself was absolutely adorable, decor was set up great. also was very clean and put together. but the shower water pressure was very low, would run out of hot water very fast, and the beds were not comfortable at all. they were very stiff. there was also no more coffee grinds to use when we got there which took away from the advertised “free coffee”. we texted property owners to see if they had more coffee and got sent a “large dog fee” for our puppy who is only 2-3 pounds over the limit and didn’t think that much would cause us to get a fee. she is certainly not a large dog as we have one and chose not to bring her. the area was also not great, many homeless walking around at all hours which isn’t a big problem but i wouldn’t spend much time outside if you plan on bringing little ones. overall, it was very cute and clean, but on the level of comfortability, its needs improvement. The dog fee just seemed petty and out of spite because they forgot to refill the coffee grinds, it just put a mood on our trip.

Cute House
The house was very clean and more stocked in the kitchen than most vacation rentals we have been to. The owners were extremely responsive and answered any question we had prior to our arrival within 15 mins. My only issue was with the bedroom set up. You had to walk through one bedroom to get to either the 2nd bedroom or to the bathroom, so not a private space.Overall, a nice place to stay.
Kally and Orlando were amazing hosts. We loved the property. Super clean, cute and comfortable. They were easy to communicate with. We will stay with them again when we are in town! Had everything we needed and more. Highly recommend Sherbet Lane!
