Overall my family had a great trip, but I have mixed feelings about this property. I decided to do a pro/con list so that you can decide what's important for your own stay. TL/DR - I would stay here again, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
PROS:
1) The location is excellent. This neighborhood is quiet and is close to everything you need. It has two pools, which are kept very clean and never seemed to be crowded. I love this area of 30A, so this is a big plus.
2) The inside of the property was very clean when we arrived...although we did have some issues (see below). But considering that we traveled during the pandemic, I was relieved. The property has a cabin-like feel (older furniture and bedding), but with updated bathroom and kitchen fixtures. The screen porch is wonderful and very roomy!
3) The property manager emailed me very quickly when we had issues. I feel like if I had wanted more contact, someone would have answered me, so that was good.
CONS
1) Unfortunately, we had maintenance issues during our stay. The ice maker was broken on arrival, but I didn't request a service visit because we don't use a lot of ice. But then we had a smoke detector go off in the middle of the night for low battery. And then the washing machine (which is very old) had a huge puddle of water under it. Luckily it was our last day when that happened. But having so many problems was a bummer, because you don't want to think about maintenance when you're on vacation.
2) The outside of the property needs some TLC. It was a little dreary looking and needs the gutters cleaned and the yard cleaned up. I was glad the inside was so clean overall...although we ended up having to kill a few roaches in the master bath!
3) The property manager was responsive with our issues, but unfortunately did not tell us *when* the service visit was happening for the washer. We got back from dinner, and it was clear someone had been in the house, but there was no note. Was the washer fixed? We never heard from anyone about it, so it was confusing. But it was our last day, so we didn't dwell on it. Like I said above, I think if I had asked more questions I would have been answered, but it would have been nice for the manager to send a note letting us know that someone had entered the property and if the issue was resolved.
Overall, the appeal of the location and the neighborhood outweighed the inconvenience of the maintenance issues, so I would still recommend this property.
