This is a charming 2nd row cottage located within steps of public beach access—a perfect location.
With the hefty cleaning fee, though, what’s with all the sand spurs in the carpet we kept stumbling across and pricking our feet on all week—did they not even try to vacuum before turning the place over?
We had a great time the first 6 days. On the 7th day the AC broke. In a house where a sign on every window reads DO NOT OPEN WINDOW.
No problem, said the person at Lewis Realty, we’ll get someone out this afternoon to fix it.
We left for the day and returned at 10 PM to a hot house, almost 90 degrees. Lewis Realty was quick to respond to texts: So sorry! The maintenance request must’ve slipped through the cracks. Someone will be there tomorrow. We’ll get some portable fans out to help.
We ended up sleeping outside where it was cooler (under a lightning storm).
When we followed up with Lewis Realty they offered to waive the reservation fee if we agreed to rent from them next summer.
The reservation fee for next summer? How about this year's cleaning or maintenance fee or, better yet, a pro-rated night altogether?
Again—it’s a great location.
