Hi Kate,
Thank you for providing clarification of the $70 account charge due to the damage to the wall clock. Per our phone conversation, I am providing some issues that we discussed so that a safety improvement can be made by the owner.
I understand the $70 charge; however the amount seems a bit excessive for that Walmart type clock.
Furthermore, the clock was not properly installed by the owner; the screw did not have a head on it to securely lock the clock in place thereby presenting a falling damage hazard to anyone who got too close to it in that corner. That corner has bar stools and chairs that make navigation a bit of a squeeze and put you close to the wall. This damage happened as we were picking up and preparing to depart.
I am not looking for a refund, however I just wanted to point this out as it presents a hazard to occupants that may get too close and be injured by any sharp plastic or glass from broken wall clock.
Also, the owner may want to look into the dish washer, it is extremely loud and I would not encourage anyone to run it at bed time.
Some other items we noted, were the lack of beach towels, and in our experience with other rentals there was always salt ~ pepper, dish soap and coffee filters.
Overall we found the place nice and we have rented places in Florida about two times per year so we do have some experience with these types of rentals.
Hope these comments help the owner and your rental service to make improvements so others can have a safe and enjoyable stay.
