Kate was wonderful to let us know that the cleaners were done on the first day and my husband and I were able to get in almost an hour early which helped tremendously with the setup. When we booked in 2025, one of the biggest draws was "full access to Ideal Beach". We have 30 people with all the gear that comes with going to the beach. We arrive only to find that the fees have not yet been paid for 2026. We contacted our host, who was very gracious but it took until the following day at 5:30 to learn that we wouldn't be able to use Ideal Beach 'at all!' I just checked and the amenities no longer list 'Ideal Beach' as one of the features. I checked while we were in the parking lot at Ideal Beach and it was still listed. I'm glad to see that that feature has been adjusted, otherwise I feel like it was a major 'bait-n-switch'. However, by the end of July, you would think that this would already have been realized.The property was clean, but basic maintenance is subpar. The air conditioning filters needed replacing which meant that we didn't have air conditioning until the end of Friday. 87 degrees in a house that cost over 2,000 a day didn't seem fair. The outside cushions are extremely worn, there is a complete hole in the window of the the great room (looks like a bullet shot), the blender is broken, and noone dared used the ice maker because it was very dirty. The house sleeps 40, we had 33 people but there is only enough flatware for 28 people.
