It was that poor re cleanliness that we did not stay at the property, washing machine needs throwing away the fridge freezer was disgusting and needs replacing, overall nothing like the pictures on Vrbo web site the pictures must be over 10 years old and nothing like the actual place
On arrival the taxi driver had the wrong name . VRBO listing 2 minutes from the sea is wrong. A stiff uphill walk to Windhammer Landing Hotel was the only beach we found. Thankfully we never had to walk the whole way as people gave us lifts.
Kitchen lacked wine glasses, a frying pan and flat spatula, dishcloth, tea towel, ovenproof dish and oven gloves so cooking was an ingenuity challenge. I found the grill pan had been left with mouldy food residue burned on in the oven. The television was not working and the electricity tripped out when we tried to use the grill.
There were empty cigarette packets in the bedside drawer and debris under superking comfy bed, cobweb behind coffee machine, rust on steel canisters and soap dispenser.
Outside the pleasant garden grass was overgrown, sunloungers had been left under a tree so were covered in detritus, a barbecue whose cover had blown off and we were unsure as to whether we could use it
Such a pity as it would have taken very little effort to have tidied the loungers to the covered porch, the very worn brooms to the laundry room with the rest of the cleaning things, and to indicate which of the four washing machines was the one in working order.
Having compared notes with others staying in hotels we had a very good deal on price, the apartment is well equipped with expensive items but lacked some basic equipment. In a good location but need a car and over 65's need a doctor's letter to get hire car insurance.
