Overall we were pretty disappointed. While the check in and check out procedures were easy and well communicated and the house was in a great neighborhood very convenient to local attractions, the house itself left much to be desired. House was not as clean as one would expect for price of rental plus the extra cleaning fee. Immediately upon arrival we discovered the advertised access to 3rd floor deck was locked by owner. This was not communicated prior to arrival. Home layout was awkward since living room and kitchen on separate floors not conducive for family gathering.
Lots of wear and tear that could have used some TLC (towel bars and toilet paper holders in bathrooms coming off walls, curtain rods bent, burn hole in love seat, dining table chairs falling apart, floor mat as you walk in front door is a very slippery trip hazard, door locks on deck sliders not functioning well and slider screens ripped). Dirty dishes in kitchen cabinets. The cabinets themselves could use a thorough wipe down inside and out and good cleaning out/organizing. The washer and dryer needed a good cleaning as well. We experienced the musty smell on first floor, as stated in other reviews. Very noisy house as sound traveled easily throughoutâŠplumbing, hot water tank running loudly.
Would not rent again.
We had a great time and really enjoyed the closeness to the beach. The property accommodations were perfect for two families. Canât wait to get back up there!
Great location, nice neighborhood, views of ocean, well equipped for beach and outdoor lounging, large and accommodating. But the musty odor from the first level was overwhelming. It got better, not gone though, with the installation of a dehumidifier, which we had to empty 2-3 times per day. There was an intense smell of initial cleaning when we first entered, but it was only Superficial cleaning so we had to do additional cleaning to make it comfortable for us. Plus it is clearly geared to student rental and lacks the homeyness of many VRBOs we have rented.
Our family was very pleased with the property, location & experience overall.
Only issue we found was that the ice maker/water dispenser was not dispensing thru the door (buttons taped over) & made it difficult to use the ice from the bucket.
Also there was a mildew smell in the lower level/washroom & washer.
