This place was FANTASTIC! The check in and arrival process was super easy. Communication was conducted via text message so it wasn't intrusive. The space was comfortable and everything we needed was readily available. The house is configured for entry into the sleeping areas and the living areas are above to maximize the view. That was a problem for my elderly parents, so keep that in mind if traveling with someone who has trouble with stairs.
I marked it down for cleanliness because the throw blankets in the family room and extra blankets for the bedrooms were not washed. There were spills of some kind of red juice on some of the items. Not a major problem. We did a quick load of laundry, but it was a little disconcerting given that we are still dealing with COVID and the place allows pets. Again, not a huge deal but something to be aware of if that's a concern for other travelers. I also marked down cleanliness because all the knives in the block were used and just put back. The light switches were also dirty; as if little sticky hands touched several. Also not earth shattering, we wiped them down and washed dished and utensils before use as we usually do anyway, but again it was off putting.
There were a couple dead bugs behind a nightstand in the guest bedroom and one HUGE live cockroach on our last evening decided to strut across the kitchen floor lol. Funny because at least he waited until we were leaving. Definitely could tell the owners sprayed the place regularly since that's all the bugs we noticed. I'm from the Island and I know how hard those are to keep out. They can sneak in when you open any door. And the proximity to the water doesn't help.
The remotes for the indoor ceiling fans were all on the same frequency, so turning off and on and adjusting the fan speeds took some creative angling but we got it to work out. Recommend mounting the ceiling fan remotes for the porch near the switch. It took us a while to find those.
There were also no instructions for how to work the stove. My husband eventually figured it out, but adding that to the arrival book (unless we overlooked it) would be helpful.
Overall, this place was great and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable landing pad while visiting the area. The home is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and the views of the water were just AMAZING. We would definitely stay here again. Renting beach gear was so convenient too.
Thanks for a fantastic stay!!
