The Sandbox quality has gone down...

We've stayed here for 8 years and have seen the quality go down despite the recent renovations.. 1. Public Beach / Not Private - You're paying "private beach" prices for a house that now basiclaly faces a public beach. Lots of people come too. They give you a "private property" sign to put out that everyone ignores. The local Sherrifs Deputies don't enforce the idea that the beach is for private use of owners and renters. 2. Dirty Linens & Stained Sheets - The linens had sand, stains or hair from previous guests in most of the beds. The washer and dryer either don't properly wash the linens when the housekeepers use them or the housekeepers aren't using them but there definitely shouldn't be sand and loose body hair in the sheets. 3. Broken Deck Doors and Locks - The doors to the deck need to be repaired with functioning knobs and locks. They can get stuck especially for kids. The repairman acknolwedged this however the owner appears to be neglecting this property hoping people will keep renting it. 3. Washer / Dryer - They're cheap quality and we had some clothes stained from them so just be mindful they aren't trustworthy. Maybe they're fine for just towels or something but they don't appear to be high quality machines capable of holding up to the rigors of lots of use. The location and beauty of the area is why most people come to The Sandbox but I think it's an open question whether the diminished experience is worth the high cost.
