Overall we had a wonderful 4th of July vacation! The house could use a little updating for sure. The refrigerator is a little old and the ice maker doesn't drop ice from the front door. You have to put a cup inside and scoop ice out. Also, not sure what can be done but you cannot open the freezer door all the way because of the wall. This makes it difficult to get things in and out of the freezer. Pots and pans need to be replaced. The dishwasher smelled like rotten eggs, so we didn't use it. We also felt like much of the wood on the front deck, railings, and back stairs, need to be looked at as some were pretty shakey. Sofas in den were very uncomfortable and totally need to be replaced. There was lots of mold in shower in upstairs bathroom that needs to be deep cleaned or tile needs to be replaced. Not much of a view of the water at all as there are houses in the way although it is a short walk to the beach. Everyone thought the beds were mostly comfortable. If at all possible, the king should be in the bottom room and used as the primary bedroom. The pool was fine but wish it would have been a little bigger. I would say it is fine to stay there but if it were mine, I would do a little updating and maintenance over hall for sure. As far as the check in experience goes, I understand that it is hard to find help and clean properties in a timely matter on check in/out day but 5:00 is a bit unreasonable. It is very hard to time your travel to try not to sit in hours of traffic to get to the area and then have to wait until 5:00 or later to get in the property. We traveled with our small dog and had a really hard time finding somewhere to sit and wait with her. Maybe a better way to check people in would be having a lockbox of some sort on each property with the key in it and when your property is ready, get a text message with a code to get your key out and start enjoying your vacation also would mean no long line at 5:00 in office.
