Big-picture wise, the house has a nice layout, plenty of room, location is close to the beach, and we loved the wraparound porches. However, we experienced several issues during our stay last month:
- Upstairs AC was not working when we checked in (Tuesday evening); the owner was responsive but the AC wasn't fixed repaired until Friday evening; it was over 80 degrees each day upstairs so sleeping in the master bedroom was difficult given the heat on the floor
- The gas supply to the house ran out Sunday (Easter) afternoon; we had to take cold showers before going to dinner that night and were unable to do any of our dirty laundry before leaving the next day
- The switches/remotes for the fans/lights had been re-programmed and there was no available documentation for how to use them so adjusting the lights/fans was problematic for the duration of our stay
- As communicated to us prior to the trip, the blinds for the bedrooms were on backorder and temporary paper blinds had been put up instead; unfortunately, they were very thin and did not keep the light out of the rooms so it was very bright as soon as the sun came up, which made sleeping past 7 very difficult
To their credit, the owners were responsive to these issues and did their best to fix them, and also refunded us one night's stay. We were frustrated that we had so many issues at this pricepoint for a house rental, so we are sharing our experience, but also recognize that it's highly unlikely that such a combination of issues would occur for future guests.
