We have stayed in this beautiful home three times now but this is the first time under new ownership/management. The updated painting is very pretty. The previous bedroom with the daybed has been converted into a bunk bed room which is quite nice. We did have trouble with the WiFi though especially in the back bedroom (not the master). I don’t remember this being a problem before. In general, the home upon entering was very clean but there was candy, candy wrappers, and an opened water bottle left in the master bedroom. There were also a few cockroaches this time. Although encounters with wildlife can’t always be controlled, we did come out to the pool one morning to find a poor exhausted rat swimming in the pool. After rescuing the rat, we contacted management. They in turn contacted the pool company who did clean it but we lost use of the pool for a full day. Rat poop was also discovered to the side of the grill. We also had some issues with water pressure. Work was being done a couple of streets over but it affected our pressure for almost the full two week stay.
For the most part, the kitchen was well stocked but some of the pans (especially the skillet pans) were not in great condition and food stuck to them. Some of the small appliances, such as the blender, had not been properly cleaned in a long time. There was dried food stuck to the blender blades. There were no spices other than salt and pepper. Also, we ran into some problems with the washing machine. The first load of clothes that we washed came out with oil/grease stains that ruined several items of clothing. We were never able to get those spots out. Towels/beach towels are provided. Bring plenty of paper products for your stay along with hand soap. With that being said, it is a beautiful home with lots of space. We absolutely love the screened in pool area and the location is very close to the beach. It is only a five minute walk to a gorgeous white sand beach
