The Good:
Overall, this house is really nice and spacious. and well-cared for. If you have older folks with you who don't do stairs well, the Beach Butler elevator lift was a great addition for our trip. Distance to the beach was as-advertised and not too bad a walk. Room sizes are really good and beds were comfy. Even though the Murphy bed is a queen, its a cheap mattress and not a very good bed for people with sensitive backs. It would have been much better to have the King bed in this room since it had a dedicated bathroom. But it all worked out. Though we didn't use any of it, the house had plenty of beach play items and a corn hole set. It was a nice touch. Kitchen was very well stocked with anything and everything we needed. Living room furniture was plentiful and able to provide a seating area for everyone in the evenings. Air conditioning worked very well and no issues with that.
The Bad:
Lower floor walk in foyer area where the beach gear is located had a number of pesky cockroaches roaming around. I recall seeing a previous review on the house and had mentioned the roach issues. To be fair, there were no incidents inside the upper floors/bedrooms/kitchen area. Only in the first floor walk in area. 3 of the bedroom windows that have walk out decks face directly into the sun in the mornings, and the curtains hardly contain light or heat. The morning room temps were almost unbearable and would heat up like a furnace even with the AC cranked. Would be so much more efficient if the owners put in Blackout curtains to curtail the light and heat. I say this so you are prepared to be awakened at 7am with blinding light and heat.
Communications with the realty company was not too bad and efficient. My biggest complaint was the unreasonable adjustment of check-in and check out times. The claim here is that COVID-19 cleaning practices are in place and they need more time to do extra items. However, I happened to stumble up on the cleaning crew just prior to them finishing and I asked about their new COVID cleaning processes, and I received a blank stare. I was also told that the hot tub was drained and filled for every weekly client. I found that this was not the case as there was lots of sand on the bottom of the hot tub and the 1 time we used it, it had a foamy goo of sunscreen and funk. So I don't think this was actually the case.
Overall, the place was a fun stay and I would certainly not hesitate to rent this place again.
