Reviewer Comments:
Four of us stayed at this location for 5 nights. We arrived to the property 2 hours early and planned to grab food while we waited to check in, but 3 staff members were performing an inspection and allowed us to go inside when it was complete. After the 8hr drive we were extremely grateful. At first glance we thought the interior was very pretty, though smaller than the pictures. One of the 3 bedrooms is very small with slanted ceilings and really only suitable for small children. Throughout our stay we found several concerning things. The house sits on the lake, so you can expect some bugs inside. However, there were clouds of flying insects all around the house. Fair enough, except the dining room table and windowsills were littered with dead bugs, indicating they had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. There was also sand still on the floors. We found a dirty sock at the edge of the bed skirt, a bra in the corner behind a basket, and a phone charger still in the wall in one bedroom. In another bedroom there was a used bandaid between the chair and dresser, and a fake fingernail beside the bedside table. One morning around 8am, we heard some loud noises outside the second floor bedroom. You can imagine our suprise when we found several people on our patio! They were construction workers that had been contracted by the property, however, we were not informed they would be working on the house during our stay. We certainly did not pay $3,000 for that. Upon calling the owner we were told there was nothing he could do and he offered no compensation for the inconvenience. One of the construction workers informed us that it was standard practice not to tell the renters when their property was going to be worked on. The only positive from our stay was that the location was indeed a 3min walk to the beach. However, there are a lot of options in the area and I would recommend spending your money elsewhere where you might be paying for something that is worth it.
