The house was clean and I had everything I needed. It was a very short walk to the beach, as advertised. The neighborhood was quiet and I especially enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the waves in the evening.
PROS:
- prime location near beach
- Fast WiFi
- Comfortable bed
- Jimmyâs seafood buffet within walking distance
CONS:
- Lockbox has a 4-digit code. When we arrived, the lockbox was set to that very 4-digit code. Not exactly secure.
- Inaccurate, dated pictures in listing. False advertising.
- Electric stove had something funky on a burner that gave off a putrid odor when we boiled water.
- Kitchen sink dripping
- The air smelled musty. Air filter was NASTY. Yeah, I checked.
- Fire extinguisher expired a while ago. Useless.
- NASTY bathroom with tile literally falling apart
- Outdoor shower broken
- Fridge froze our fruit and vegetables
- Shower escutcheon plate falling off
- Blinds in severe disrepair
- Weatherstripping torn
- 7 of 11 possible bulbs in 3 ceiling fan fixtures missing- Deck chairs so rusty I was afraid theyâd break if I tried sitting
- All entry hardware (locks, doorknob) slowly being eaten by the salt air.
- Gate at top of stairs had been dragging on the deck for some time due to failing hinges. Opening it caused a rusted hinge to snap, leaving the gate hanging by a single rusty hinge.
There's more, but that's enough to give you the flavor of our experience.
Location location location! We rented this place last minute with 2 dogs in tow. The proximity to the beach is less than a block with a public access at the end of the street. The house is older and amenities basic, but for us it was just right.
