Up to you

When it comes to cleanness, I have to give it a 1 star, we had all pans dirty and plates.(old food stuck on them) we had so so many ants when we got there. The fire alarm kept going on for 2 nights. All bedding had to be washed when we got there because ants were on bed as well. With short notice we couldnt find something else. Especially since this was paid for. Its a great house just needs more maintenance

Memories

We came with family 6 adults, 4 kids. We realize that we need to come for a longer visit. Accommodations were great. Only two minor hiccups. We had trouble getting the door open but ended up figuring it out and the trash can outside was full from previous tenant and this morning it was gone. Like I said this was minor. There were young adults in the pool area until 3 am being very loud and appeared to be drinking. Our memories of this trip are Amazing!

Clean and responsive property manager

We loved the property. Everything on the listing was accurate. The elevator didn’t work but that didn’t ruin our stay. The rooms were comfortable and the pool/hot tub were really nice. Overall I’d book this property again. We had no issues during our stay.

Nice with struggles and frustration

It started from the moment I got there. Could not get into site with code provided. Combination lock code had bad batteries and had to be replaced by maintenance. Elevator was problematic throughout stay. Something wrong with the magnet on the inner door as well as the connection of the outer door in the third floor. Stove did not work and it took till the next morning (late mo) to get it fixed. That cost me not only a great deal of frustration but also cost because I could not prepare a meal as I had planned. Door leading to pool from 1st floor not working. Could not turn the lock. When stove was fixed they replaced the lock. Again an inconvenience for my family in lack of access but also a lost of anemeties since we could not enjoy. Washer had a load of towels. Do not know if clean or dirty but should not of been there. We washed and folded them. It was a nice place , very clean with exception of towels left in washer but overall we had everything that we needed once it was working. There were 3 coffee pots all which were missing parts or did t know how to use. We finally got one to work. I don’t know that I would select one of your properties again? Your management was kind and courteous when they finally came around. Considering that check-in is at 4:00 and office closes at 5:00 with no after hour support until the next day should be considered.

Less than satisfactory

The property manager had an emergency call when I was 2 hours away from the property. It was to let me know the elevator was not working. I booked this property because my mother was traveling with us. The property was 3 floors and boasted of an elevator had a mother-in-law suite downstairs, but my mother was unable to join the family because she is wheelchair bound. The news I got seemed to be an after thought on the property manager and a sneaky-way of telling me something they probably knew all along. A beautiful looking stove which the oven did not work, i did not read anywhere that in the property description. Their solution was they had a convection oven, but really it was an oven toaster. The washer and dryer were full of mold. I have pictures to show. They did not have enough toilet paper not even for one day. We had to dash to the store an hour away to buy supplies. The trashcan in the kitchen was broken. There was no hand soap in the third floor. The property owner should find a different company to manage theirs assets. The location was misleading. In the description it looks as if you are closer to the beach than you really are. Hardly can give an over all 2 stars.

Awesome property

Enjoyed our stay. Very clean, location was perfect and the size of the house was perfect for the 8 adults. House was well equipped with all essentials we needed. Glad we only booked for a 4 day weekend because what attracted us to the house was the pools....... but we were disappointed because the pools were green with algae and were unusable. Will stay again but will check on the pool situation before we confirm booking.
