We wanted to love this place, but there were too many negatives that outweighed the positives. Lets start with what was positive:
- ocean view, ocean view, ocean view - simply lovely
- bathrooms remodeled and updated
- main living space open concept and plenty of room for our 23 members of the family.
-Laurie, property manager, perhaps owner, was sympathetic to the many issues. I spent more time texted her for several days than I wanted on a "vacation".
Negatives
- We left a day early, 3 days without air conditioning on the main level, it got to 87 degrees inside and sleeping was really bad the first night. First two days, no air ... we had window units in and out ... lots of work people in and out.
- Cleaners were there for 40 minutes. it is a big house and it was not clean. Sand inside was underneath feet.
- The outside deck was very old and some deck boards / railings very unsafe. They sent more service folks to re-nail old boards, sure up wobbling railings ... the whole deck needs to be replaced around the pool. We would not let my 82 year old mother out on the deck for fear she would trip on the splintered and lifting boards.
- Outside was dirty, dirty, dirty ... sand box was gross, glad we didn't have kids who wanted to play in it, no one serviced the outside. We had to put water in the pool and all of it is very dated.
- For the cost for a week ... definitely not worth the money.
- Dirty sheets from prior guests were never picked up, they left clean towels in a trash bag outside. Sheets on beds were super rough ... and no extra pillow cases for the pillow in the closet.
Overall, the place needs better management and maintenance.
