Not clean

I was looking forward to this stay, as it was a wonderful house and great location. My excitement quickly turned to disappointment as we discovered how unclean this property was. Food splatters on cabinets, dirt around the toilets, dust and debris on tables but the biggest thing was roaches... we found several dead. By the end of our stay, we found several alive. I bought bleach and cleaning supplies to at least clean the bathrooms before use. The AC needed some serious maintenance as well, as we could never get the temperature regulated. I hope the owners get some necessary repairs (floor was covered with plywood from a soft spot) completed and it sprayed for bugs before they let other families stay here.

close to beach

We really liked being so close to the beach for the quick walk as well as sitting on nicely shaded front deck and seeing and hearing the ocean. The beach and water were so nice and clear. We enjoyed the entire week in the spacious house with plenty of room to spread out and sleep. The beds were all so comfortable and having 3 KING beds was a benefit. The kitchen is beautiful and made preparing all our meals very easy and nice with lots of amenities and dishes. The ice machine is huge and a hit for sure as well as the filtered water/ice from the modern fridge. I would highly recommend this house and would stay here again! Thanks Dee Dee for checking in with us.
