Reviewer Comments:
This is the first cottage in Beachwalk that I would not return to. When we first arrived we couldn't even get in the front door because it was blocked by bags of trash and laundry that had not yet been picked up. I called and someone came and took the bags, but the trash bin was overflowing since before we arrived, until after we checked out, and attracted tons of flies that hovered around the only door. My son spent the entire vacation making others open the door for him so he could run in and out, rather than be surrounded by the bugs. (I also killed a few spiders in that front dining room.) Inside, the kitchen was disappointing. There wasn't even salt and pepper, nor any spices. (We left some behind; I hope they aren't thrown out between guests.) There was no soup ladle, and all the cooking dishes were quite large and heavy, while the galley kitchen and dishwasher were tiny, making washing and/or drying dishes difficult. I know we were near the playground but our front door and fire pit were just steps from the top of the slide, so we had no personal outdoor space away from others. I have kids that enjoyed the playground occasionally but every single evening there was a pickup baseball game on the grounds, which no one else seemed to be bothered about even though the ball came close to hitting several non-playing kids. Finally the golf cart charger (or outlet) was not working, though we didn't tinker with it and figure that out until the last night. The result was that the golf cart was about half as fast as most, and I was afraid to take it up the modest hills on a couple roads because it advanced so slowly. We alerted the office of the non-functioning charger on the last day, and were told that they'd have to contact the owners for any repairs. And coming back to the trash issue, we had to let any trash we generated accumulate on the counters and in the house, since there was no where to put it outside. Overall, this was an unpleasant experience.
