Reviewer Comments:

This house has potential, but was not exactly as we expected. It is very spacious. There were seven adults in the house, all with adequate sleeping arrangements, bathrooms, gathering space and private space. First, it is just a bit over a half mile from the beach. A doable walk, but you will need a cart of some kind if you like to take chairs, games, coolers, towels and toys to the beach. Second, it was not an uncomfortable space, but we never really settled in to it. It could use a really good cleaning; some fresh paint, flooring and kitchen. The pillows in the living room are stained and icky looking. They appear to have been like this for a while. The sectional was sandy (I know it is the beach); every time you sat on one end of the sectional you had to brush sand off the seat and arm. The outdoor furniture was stained and the whole porch just needs a good cleaning and fresh paint. We never really used that space. There were spills from prior renters that had never been cleaned. Not by the renters, not by the cleaning service. The kitchen cabinets were gritty inside and had an odor. We would rinse dishes before every use. The refrigerator struggled to get back up to cold and maintain the cold. The carpet in the master bedroom is old and stained. Third, the cleaning that happens between renters was not very impressive either. The coffee maker and toaster were sticky and greasy. We had to clean those before using. Bathrooms were well cleaned. Fourth, while there is a shower in the garage area, it is dark, damp and moldy. There was an outdoor faucet, but no hose. Island Realty is responsive to calls, we had some TV/Cable issues which were resolved the same day. They were professional, courteous and efficient as check in/out.
