Overall, great house for a large family to stay in. Easy access to the beach’s no plenty to do within a short drive or walk. House was clean on arrival and for the most part kitchen was stocked with any tools or appliances you might need. Find about 8 beach chairs, coolers and a wagon in the garage.
A few negatives from our stay.
First, the view from the back of the house an pool area is that if a house under construction. Be prepared to listen to that from about 8-4 everyday until it’s finished.
2. When we first arrived their was also construction material on the back lawn of the house, directly next to the pool. The management company did come remove it when we notified them.
3. The pool/hot tub are somewhat complicated to use. Having instructions for use and also notifying renters that the temperature is remotely controlled by the homes owner would have alleviated some of our initial issues. Our second day they did have to send the pool company out to show us how to switch between operating the spa and pool since only one can be heated at a time. Some directions in the house could have explained this. The pool heater also stopped working towards the end of our vacation, but they were able to get maintenance out to get it going again later that afternoon. The pool area is shaded in the afternoon so it was really important to have the heater going.
4. The house is very nice inside, but it could use some help with the finishes. We had handles falling off of drawers, loose fixtures in the bathrooms, light switches not always working, etc. Was surprised for being a brand new house that it had some of these issues.
Overall we really enjoyed being together in one place. Mainly we wish the construction directly behind the house had been disclosed. Considering we received emails about construction a mile away that we couldn’t hear, we were surprised.
