First, we LOVED the location of this house. It is on a quiet cove with quick access to big water. We were able to rent a boat and keep it right at our dock for a few days. Three things allowed me to give a 3 star rating vs 1 (I actually wish I could give 3.5 because it was a bit above 3 but not quite 4.) Those would be: 1.) Location of the property 2.) pet friendly and nice very large fenced area for my dog 3.) The property management company and ownerâs response to the issues we experienced. They both really did try and correct the issues but some things were beyond their control.
When we first arrived, we absolutely loved it. But 24 â 48 hours in we became aware of the issues. This house changed ownership in April 2021 and we were told the new owner is refurbishing as they can, between rentals. There is MUCH needed. First: Internet/Wifi service. It pretty much doesnât exist. Forget streaming anything. There is no cable service available, but there are smart TVs. Unfortunately, the problem lies with the ISP and it is all satellite and simply doesnât work. This is completely out of the owners control for now as it is the only service available in the area for the time being. But guests need to know that their internet connection will NOT work about 80% of the time and when it does work, it will be extremely slow
Next, the deck and the dock: There have been some repairs made but the conditions of both are not good, and actually somewhat dangerous. There are screws and nails sticking up that will puncture bare feet or pet paws. Guests should be cautioned NOT to walk the deck or docks barefoot and be very careful with dogs
Appliances: The dispenser for the water and ice in the refrigerator was broken when we arrived (which we reported) and a repairman was sent out. However, it was not fixed during out 16 day stay and we were told the part was very expensive and the owner was planning to just replace the refrigerator instead. Hopefully, that has now been done. We had a problem with the dishwasher (at times it seemed to not get power) and we were told a repairman would be out. However, it was working on/off so I told the property manager not to bother. The washer and dryer were wonderful! The vacuum was so clogged with dirt that it would not work and my husband ended up taking it apart and cleaning it so we could vacuum.
I personally found the house to be well equipped. What few things I needed for the kitchen that were not there I went out and
