First the good...
- Location is excellent.
- House is spacious and comfortable.
- The layout is great for large families.
- Pool and jacuzzi are well maintained.
The bad...
- It was dirty, and not just a little. We've done vacation rentals everywhere, and this was gross. August 2020 is a frightening time with Covid19, and Surf or Sound (property manager) bragged about all the extra steps they were taking. They lied.
- Refrigerator and freezer were full of grime from the last renter, silverware was full of dried food and rusty.
- There were 5+ of all kinds of cookware, but all of them were in terrible condition. Examples include Teflon pans that were scratched through to the metal, coffee maker with cracks on the lid.
- Garbage stuffed behind nightstands, under beds, and under couches. This includes what I can only describe as what looked like a "bloody" paper towel.
- Master bedroom toilet handle didn't work. You had to pull the top off the tank and lift the flapper.
And the ugly...
- We called to tell Surf Or Sound, and they abruptly told my wife to "put it in an email" and HUNG UP ON HER. Not cool.
Net: If you aren't picky about cleanliness, you'll have a blast. Otherwise, I'd pick a property through a different company.
