Great Relaxing Location

Our Family really enjoyed the stay. The location was out of the way and relaxing but close enough to shopping for us. The home is a little dated but had all the convinces need and was clean and comfortable. We would like to stay again if returning to the area.

Bad Experience

When we arrived 2 hours after checkin time, we discovered no clean sheets. After a search, they were found in the dyrer still wet and a load of wet towels in the washer. The bathrooms hadn't been cleaned. there were spit stainsand hair all over both places. The home was just plain dirty. I contacted the host about this on Frifay, it is now Wednesday of the next week and stillhave not recieved a response

Property Could Be Great With Some Upgrades and Cleaning

The beach and the area around the fire pit was lovely. However, there were broken chairs out there. The house itself could use some TLC and a deep cleaning. Walls were dirty and need to be painted. There were smashed bug guts on the living room wall. Vents were covered in dust and you can tell they hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. There was dirt and grime in the corners on the floor. Cobwebs throughout the house. We got there to find a dryer full of wet towels. Landscaping was overgrown and needs to be cut back. The screened in porch was very nice but we were not allowed to open any of the windows. Door to the screened in porch was broken. The area is beautiful and this home has a lot of potential. It just needs some care.
