Loved
The layout. Big, spacious rooms. baby blue and white colors.
A/C worked great!
Driveway is enough for 2 cars.
Only one flight of stairs.
The porch rocking chairs and table.
Lots of trash cans, all w/trash bags despite threats to bring my own trash bags. (I needed one trash bag for the week)
Lots of hangers in the closets despite their repeated insistence that I must bring my own hangers!
There was dish detergent despite being told there would be none .
Big kitchen sink w/view of the ocean.
But:
Buckled/wavy front porch is an accident waiting to happen.
Outside of house needs to be painted.
House has a moldy smell.
Kitchen door is funky/stuck. Screen door doesn’t close properly and slats on door falling off.
Towel bar on the back of the 2nd bathroom door doesn’t hold weight. Screw holes are too big.
Air vents need to be dusted.
Windows are painted shut. Safety issue and it was nice out.
Blinds don’t all work. Lights from other houses is blinding at night.
Shower heads both need to be replaced!! They are disgusting! The master bathroom shower faucet is broken so that it just spins. Hard to guess where it should be for hot water. Water flow is pathetic. The bath tub doesn’t drain fast enough so by the time you are done with a short shower, the water in the tub with that nasty mat is up to your ankles. The bath mat in the tub! YUCK! I hated putting my feet on it. Should be the kind that comes out and gets cleaned.
No lock box or code on the unit. Had to pick up/drop off the key at the other end of the island.
Also, I’d like to warn other VRBO users that as soon as you reserve this house through VRBO and click “confirmed”/pay your money, you are immediately transferred to Bryant Real Estate and forced to sign another 16 page contract where you must give the names/ages of each occupant. And are STRONGLY encouraged to pay for the extra insurance.
Suddenly things that were always considered standard to me at other VRBO properties were not so standard. Sheets! Would I like to pay extra to have sheets and even more if I wanted the bed made. I was warned several times that I would not have any trash bags, paper towels and would be rationed one roll of the cheapest toilet paper they could find. If I wanted Kleenex, paper towels, more toilet paper, a blanket, hangers or towels - bring it with me (on my flight from Washington state)
