We loved our stay at the beach front property! There were 10 of us for the first week of October. You could not beat the location! However, there are some important things to consider, and some we did not know until we were actually staying at the house.
1. The pool heat was WELL WORTH the money spent! Get it!
2. Beach chairs are not supplied. This would be a great idea to offer as a perk since the house holds so many people who will use the beach.
3. There are two drawers filled with knives, plus a knife block, but none of them are sharp. Bring your own if you are a cook.
4. There are NO supplies for cooking like salt and pepper, spices, oils, cooking spray, foil, plastic wrap, paper towels, etc. We had to purchase all of those and were not permitted to leave any behind for the next guests. If you are guest who flew to the destination, you won't want to cart all of those home in your luggage, so you just end up throwing them away. It would be very helpful to have a small stash of these items. Eliminate one knife drawer for these complimentary items.
5. The thermostat is not allowed to go below 70 degrees. There are fans in most bedrooms (but not living/great room), but not all were working (I did not know this until after we left or I would have contacted the management company, which is very responsive). However, the fans were not adequate to cool the rooms to the sleeping temperature that we are accustomed which is 68-69 degrees.
5. You cannot open any windows. Maybe this was an oversight, but all handles are removed from the twist open windows. We would have loved to be able to open a window or two to get the cool night air in our rooms. Seems pretty important in case of fire that windows be able to open for escape. I would be surprised if this absence of window handles met fire code.
