Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
The check in process was terrible. We received a code to get in but no further instructions. It would have been helpful to know it was an unmarked dirt road, that the actual house address wasn't on the main road, that the house wasn't labeled with a #, that the lockbox was not on the door but another location, that the lights would all be on, that there was no traditional door but rather a sliding door that walked into the basement level. Any one of these clues would have made the check-in process so much smoother. The house was very clean and quaint so everything else was great. The location was perfect for us to play Arcadia Bluffs (8 minutes) and hike the dunes trail (just 1.5 miles). The supplies provided were plenty for our short visit and were appreciated. It's nice to not have to pack shampoo/conditioner, TP, dish soap, paper towels or trash bags. There wouldn't have been enough for a long trip, but perfect for those staying 2-3 nights.The main bedroom is up in the loft but there is no bathroom on that level so you do have to walk downstairs in the middle of the night. The bed was also a foam mattress, which is probably not the best for most people so my sleep was not the best. Last little issue was the shower head was broken so water sprayed all over the drywall above, which I worry is really causing some serious damage. That didn't affect our showers, just hate to see the water damage for the owner's sake.With check-in changes, I would recommend.
