Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property was very clean. It was in a great location. Very close to the beach however the view was blocked by dunes. Also you had a steep climb up and down to the ocean. There were no steps just sandy path. This could be challenging to someone with small kids or people who struggle with balance. That was the only real issue.

Home Lacked Cleanliness & General Maintenance

This home is in an ideal location and has the best stocked kitchen of any home we’ve stayed in over the past few years. Having said that, cleanliness and general maintenance were sub par - the porch light was out, several lamps were either broken or had bulbs blown, hard floors were not swept (long black hair on kitchen floor, q-tips on floor in bathroom), one bathroom had black mold on the shower curtain while the other had black mold on the shower surround, one bed comforter had blood on the comforter and another on a decorative pillow, both bathroom sinks did not drain properly and both toilets had to be flushed twice for even the most basic of functions. This home was clearly not inspected after the previous turnover was completed.
