Was so excited for this trip and am sorry to leave this review as I never felt ripped off by a vacation rental before this trip. Vacation was family - 4 adults and one 10 yo - and I understand that the end of summer was prime time and expected to pay for it. However, when spending THAT much money, I do expect to get value.
It is a great location. Very easy access to the beach and to restaurants. The place was well cleaned, large and had enough seating for the 5 of us. Nice balcony porch with chairs where we could dry our beach stuff. Ample parking in front and back.
Unfortunately, there were major issues as soon as we arrived. The front French doors did not close or lock securely. When you thought they were closed, you could easily push them open from outside. Then we saw the pool - it was disgusting. Unless the paint scheme was mottled brown 🤢, the pool hadn’t been truly cleaned in a while.
I contacted the mgr/owner immediately who said the pool was serviced 2x/week but it would be taken care of asap. Late the following afternoon, a handyman was able to somewhat fix the doors (tiny lego jammed in someplace) but didn’t have a screw to fix the strike plate. So you had to hold the strike plate in place when you closed the door.
The pool servicer showed up 4 days later, just before we left. He checked the filter, took a water sample and left. There was NO cleaning done. Obviously, we did not use the pool - which is one of the criteria I had in looking for a place.
Other negatives include no place to hang things - any things! There are a couple small bars in baths, but nowhere to hang clothes. The back door has a 1/2” gap all around that allows hot air/bugs/etc. The back porch and stairs are painted metal that is so badly peeling that it’s had to hold the railing.
For a very expensive /night, I do expect more. I would not return to this location unless changes were made.
