A few positives and quite a few negatives. Positives- big house with plenty of space. Multiple coffee pots and three refrigerators so there was plenty of food storage for everyone. Ice machine was a great bonus as well. The house had great AC and plenty of blankets. TV's worked really well and had streaming services available. Would be a great place for large families or even multiple friends staying.
All of that being said...
The house- Solid overall. Internet wasn't any good, floors were nice and couches and beds were fine. The kitchen faucet leaks, ("chefs in the group") pots and pans are cheap dollar store equipment and vents under the microwave hardly worked. Cheap charcoal grills had not been cleaned and we found the previous guest old hotdogs still on them. Fridge downstairs smells like fish but not a huge issue. Trash around the property in the sand was pretty bad. Wood and other construction materials all around property. Multiple nails were picked up (including the one in my tire). There are no stairs down the center of the deck as shown in the photos. Deck stairs are on the side leading under the house. A bit misleading on the stairs and deck path leading to the beach. Deck drops off at least a foot and a half onto old harden concrete bags slightly covered in sand (two of us got cut from these).
Neighborhood pool was just ok, seemed like it hadn't been cleaned all summer. Still not the biggest issue.
The massive issue...
The description for the property states that the owner purchased the properties in front of Diamondmine and had plans to build on them. It does not state that it is currently under construction and that crews would be working 7 days a week, 7am-6pm until finished (They just started Aug2022). We were woken up every single morning (to include Sunday) to construction noise, had to literally walk over wooden beams and through a live construction site with small children to get to the beach. Replace crossing over dunes with following excavator tracks, all while being told that there isn't anything they could do about it. Given the chance, I would have cancelled this stay and moved everyone elsewhere. Strongly believe we paid double than what it was worth to stay during this given time. I WOULD NOT book this property until construction is complete (my guess before summer 2024).
I did want to mention that DeeDee who works with the property management company is sweet and came and checked on us during our stay.
