Disappointing Beach Week – We Left EarlyWe rented this house over the Fourth of July so our adult children and their spouses could be together on Pensacola Beach. As longtime locals who have stayed in many beach rentals, we do not expect perfection, but we do expect a clean, comfortable, well-maintained, pest-free home.The location was excellent, and the pool was clean and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the house did not appear thoroughly cleaned and showed significant wear. Several blinds were broken, one TV did not work, the refrigerator had a broken shelf and barely functioning water dispenser, and the front door was difficult to use.The oven initially did not work, the shower rod fell during the first use, the HVAC filters were extremely dirty, and the deadbolt later failed. The owner responded promptly and made repairs, which we appreciated, but guests should not have to spend their vacation reporting basic maintenance problems.The worst issue was the roaches. We saw them inside every day, including one that crawled onto our son-in-law’s arm while we watched a movie. Numerous roaches were also visible on the deck at night. The owner offered pest control, but we declined because we did not want insecticide sprayed while we were staying there.We left two days early because the roaches and overall condition made the stay uncomfortable. When we later shared our disappointment, we did not feel our concerns were acknowledged. We would not stay here again or recommend it.
