This was my family’s second trip to Harbor Island. Although we enjoyed the beach, there are a few disappointing things that kept our stay from being up to par. We really enjoyed having a golf cart to get things to the beach quickly. The house location was convenient to the pool in the community, however it was not advertised that the pool across the street would not open until May 1, only one day before we departed. This was the main reason we chose the home and were greatly disappointed to find this information out. The home itself needs a lot of repairs. My father had to re-hook up the dryer vent as it was disconnected. Cabinets were broken and a closet door was off the track. The dishwasher needed to be ran twice to rinse all of the soap off, and the microwave does not heat food. The vacuum cleaner also did not work. We could not use the grill provided as it was so dirty and caked with leftover food. We had to purchase another grill to use. We also found the coffee pot to be filthy with coffee spots left on the counter top underneath. We had to clean a lot before we could use it. Everyone from Tide Watch was very friendly, however I do not want to spend my vacation having repairs done to the home I’m staying in. Old couches were picked up during our stay and I’m wondering why it couldn’t have been done before we arrived, knowing there was no one in the home before us as we were able to check in early. We will return to Harbor Island, however we would not stay in this home again or recommend it to others.
