I wish I had noticed the old date on the only two reviews that show up on here before booking (reviews from 2016). Positives:
Location! 7 acres, private beach, lots of bedrooms.
Negatives:
Cobwebs, dirty, cluttered, torn wallpaper, cheap linens, lots of expired food/used bars of soap and even empty beer bottles (in bedroom!) left behind from previous renters, in addition to random items such as a birthday hat and a fast food lid on the floor. One of the kitchen sinks didn’t work, there was a hodge-podge of dishes (minimal glasses/mugs and most were discolored or chipped), several wooden utensils were spotted with mold. Did not feel comfortable cooking without washing everything first. The windmill house was hazardous with an old sink with rusted metal on the floor and ancient window fans with damaged electrical cords. The most concerning thing: ZERO fire/smoke detectors, especially given how old the lamps/wiring etc. are. I’ve literally never had a bad experience renting through HomeAway until now. Extremely disappointed.
