Great communication with the owner, convenient location, very dirty and unsaintary
The house was great, new appliances, convenient location, but the housekeeping was absolutely terrible. The obvious stuff was taken care of, clean counters and floors on the first floor, but there were animal poop stains on the rug, dishes that were put back in the cabinets with food and grease still caked on them. The second floor had dirty floors, dirty hand and footprints on the walls, and large food crumbs under the beds.the worst part of the second floor were the beds. The linen was not washed whatsoever. The cleaners just made the dirty beds and didn't even bother to brush off crumbs and debris, let alone throw the sheets and blankets in the washer. There were stains on every sheet down to the mattress protectors on every single bed. The hair. There was so much hair throughout the sheets. Both animal and human.We spent several hours on our first two days of our vacation unmaking beds, washing, and remaking beds. The owner did offer to fix the issue but we felt more comfortable handling it ourselves.(how could we trust the cleaners to do it right after missing so many major dirty things?)There was also a lot of cigarette butts, trash, and dog poop throughout the front yard that was taken care of after we complained. Mostly everything was picked up except for the poop.Overall, I wish we didn't have to spend so much time dealing with the very unsaintary beds.We made the most of it and still had a good time.I hope the cleaners can do a better job for the next family.

Great place, some mgmt issues
Overall, would consider staying here again as the pros outweighed the cons. Just be aware of the cons.
Pros: the space fit our needs very well, was super clean, two fridges was a nice perk, and great location in the golf cart zone like we wanted.
Cons:
Mgmt hid in the fine print that you pay for trip insurance inside the cost. An optional add-on for things like flights/hotels, but this place bakes it in - to the tune of 10% on top of an already not-cheap place. I found it in the fine print and messaged mgmt to opt-out - only to be unapologetically told I had to contact the ins company directly (and was given no company name, contact info or any help to do so). After multiple calls to track this down and cancel it, it hit a 10-days after booking cancellation deadline, and I was stuck with it.
Second, my friend's 8yo son almost had the living room cabinet/credenza fall on him. Thankfully we were standing right there and caught the piece before it flipped over. (Mgmt: you should really anchor that to the wall given how it opens).
Lastly, we were getting to town earlier than the 4pm check-in (which IMO already pushes the bounds of reasonable check-in time), so we requested early check-in. They extended to 3:30pm. I understand they're under no obligation to grant early check-in, but also they'd asked if we wanted to discount extend our stay bc it was an open "gap" night; so not ppl were staying there the night before. Not a BIG problem - just don't book and expect different.
