The best part of this listing is the beach toys available in the garage. There are plenty. Beware some of the chairs are not in usable condition. We opened a chair and it was ripped and unable to be utilized. Thankfully, there were many others. This listing stated that the upstairs unit has A/C. IT DOES NOT. Neither the upstairs nor downstairs is equipped with A/C. As mentioned in a previous review, this duplex borders a VERY busy & loud street. Both units, especially the downstairs unit, were not clean at all. The floors were filthy and sticky, bathroom has mold on the walls and lots of dirt/stuff in the light fixture. Ripped cushions on furniture, furniture is falling apart. Leaves are everywhere just outside the sliding door in the living room, and the front entry was so dirty I had to clean it myself just to be comfortable walking in and out of the place. The faucet in the kitchen is awkward and it sticks. All utensils must have been purchased from the Dollar Store. The outside garbage cans sit next to the downstairs master bedroom and the house is infested with flies, nats and ants. Every day (4 days) we had to mitigate flies, nats & ants. Our overall experience was fun because of our friends/family and our time at the beach, so we barely tolerated the house. The management company did respond to the fly/ant/nat issue, and the a/c problem by bringing traps & portable A/C units, but they were not effective. It was also a full 24 hours after check-in before anyone showed up to correct the problem. I also noticed that the listing reflects "No Pets" in one location and "Pets Allowed" in another. The bed linens did not feel clean, and the bed skirt in the master bedroom is disgustingly dirty. Either the owners or the management company, or both need to get it together if they want to succesfully rent this place. For us, we will stick to renting from the amazing rental companies in Newport we are familiar with, as there are plenty. I don't like writing bad reviews because it makes me feel terrible. However, this was an expensive rental for us and I hope the owners and management will take this as constructive criticism and take measures to make their listing more comfortable. When you pay this price there are expectations that come with it. I have many pictures of the interior issues, but do not see where VRBO allows pictures in the review section.
