This is the 2nd time our family of 4 (two young kids) have stayed at this house. We hoped it would be "our spot" in SD, however we don't know that it will be. We love the 3 bed, 2.5 bath, easy layout, gate at stairs, laundry & most importantly the location! You walk out the sliding doors & are right on the bay. It's quieter & calmer than oceanside, which we prefer for our young kids. Now, the reason why we were disappointed... When we stayed at this house in Oct 2023, the downstairs 1/2 bath had what looked like some water damage and a smell. This year, Oct 2024, the bathroom smelled stronger (mildew/ musty) & looked to have signs of mold behind the toilet and in the top corner of the room. We chose to keep the door to this room closed during our stay to avoid the smell, however anytime the A/C would kick on, the smell would push into the lower level of the house. I felt like our family was breathing in mold. We then tried turning off the A/C, but we also specifically chose a house with A/C so we could stay cool particularly at night. Additionally, there was a smell to the 2nd floor jack & jill bathroom as well, which we also chose to use only for quick teeth brushing. I do hope they renovate the bathrooms as this could be such a great vacation house. They did update some area rugs, that needed it. I would love to see an upgrade on the couch & pillows in tv room too, which have seen better days. Great house, unfortunately, I just can't stay somewhere with that smell again. :(
