This property has so much going for it! Close proximity to beach with easy access (we walked out the back & through the parking lot). Neighborhood was very nice & well-kept. The house had a great layout, we had a group of 8 adults & never felt cramped. We loved the back porch with gulf views & the front porch for watching sunsets. We liked the location with several restaurants, a fish market, & a couple stores nearby. Plenty of parking. The beach was lovely & not too crowded, even on Memorial Day Weekend. This property would easily be 4.5 or 5 stars if it wasn’t for how disappointed we were with the cleanliness.
Upon arrival, it was clear that this property had not been cleaned thoroughly, other than the absolute minimum of changing sheets & towels, wiping down surfaces, & cleaning the floors. My husband & I spent an hour cleaning the bathrooms & kitchen with a scrub brush we found in the laundry room. The showers, tub, & sinks hadn't been cleaned in a long time. There was mold/mildew growing behind the kitchen sink & in the hall bathtub. There were piles of dirt & debris in the corners & behind doors. There was even coffee left in the coffee pot. We tried our best to remedy the situation with what we had, but the last thing you want to do when you arrive on vacation is clean someone else’s house, especially when paying a cleaning fee.
Overall, the house itself is great, in a great location, & has so much potential, but it was overshadowed by the lack of cleanliness.
