Stay

A good but older property. The second floor was not level in one corner. I would think that should be addressed. The stairs to the second floor are extremely narrow and hazardous. There is a warning sign on the main floor. Not a good choice for seniors.

Nice stay overall, with a few minor problems

Nice house...very well kept, but had trouble the whole time with the wifi. Also had trouble with the lighting by the pool. There isnt a switch, only a plug that we found hidden behind a chair at the upper deck. Even at that, it was only half the lighting. No major problems though...would go back for the price.

Needs work

The house was perfect for the 3 of us, but definitely needs some work. We did not have hot water during our stay because the hot water heater was not hooked up. Also, this is a pet friendly property, but there is NO grass in the backyard. Not a deal breaker, but my dogs would have preferred at least a small patch of grass.

Place was a little run down, but clean. Pool was also clean and the kids loved it! Good location away from the crazy, but still close enough to get around in a golf cart. We had a good time, no major complaints.

Neat house, poor property management

My review is mostly focused on the property management. The house is fine, a bit old and some of the flooring feels like it's going to drop out from beneath you. Like a lot of reviews say the house DEFINITELY needs a deep clean! The sink faucet didn't work, only the sprayer hose, I called Life in Paradise Vacation Rentals and they told me someone would be out, they never showed. I also called about getting the pool cleaned, it was murky and needed a good vacuum, guess what? They never showed. Also, after we check in some dude shows up at 7 pm the first day and says he's just there to clean the outside? He stays for 5-10 min and leaves, didn't clean anything. I asked if he was going to clean the pool or fix the sink and he told us someone would come by shortly. For the exorbitant price per night I expected better.

Lovely home

The property was a great place to get away for the weekend. Our teen daughter was having so much fun in the pool that she didn’t even care about the beach. We chose this property because of the pool and pets policy. It was spotless, no signs of past pets. As clean as it was, it did smell like mold in the entry but I just chalk that up to the climate there. The only other thing I would like to mention is a soft spot on the floor of the kitchen. I would not hesitate to book again!
