Overall, we had a very good time and enjoyed our stay. The location is absolutely amazing; less than a minute walk to the beach and ocean views with the sounds of waves crashing 24/7. The pool is wonderful and fully stocked with all the different floaties. The house itself is clean for the most part, aside from some dusty shelves on the tv stand and coffee table, and one particularly dirty shower curtain.
Unfortunately, we came to realize that many things in the home were either broken or not functioning properly. The screen in the patio is torn and ripped off in a variety of places, a burner on the stove is completely useless, blender doesn’t work, the sliding door to get the patio was very hard to open and would often get stuck, there were some rusty nails sticking out of places on the stairs. After a day at the beach, we put our clothes in the washing machine, only to later find out that the dryer didn’t work. None of that made better by the fact that the beds in every room were so hard and pretty uncomfortable..
This rental definitely didn’t give that “home-away-from-home” feeling. At the end of our stay, rather than wishing for just one more day, we found ourselves ready to return to the comforts of home.
TL;DR Ultimately, we did have a great time. With some upgrades and proper maintenance, this would definitely be 5-stars and we would happily return.
