Reviewer Comments:
The view from 4S is beautiful, and proximity to the beach is great, but there are a lot of things that need improvement within 4S. First, this unit has not had a deep cleaning in a long time and it shows. The floors were filthy and bottoms of our feet were routinely dark. The toilet bowl brushes under the sink are just thrown in the cabinet, next to the clean towels, which is gross. The kitchen cabinets are highly disorganized, with items thrown in random drawers and cabinets (only exception was the cabinet with the dishes, which was well organized). The utility closet in the kitchen is a mess, and not safe for children. The unit is not designed well for families with young children - there is no bathtub to bathe little ones, the fan on the lanai does not have an on/off switch (you have to unplug a dangerous cord that simply hangs to the side), and there are no rugs anywhere, so no place for babies to play on the ground (other than just putting them directly on the cold and dirty tile floor). The bedding in the guest room is extremely cheap/low quality (part of Target's "college collection" comforters). Lastly, the owners of 4S lock the full front closet so there is minimal storage for toys/stroller/cooler, etc. For the price, I would have expected a nicer stay. It doesn't need to be fancy at all, but please do the basics - - - clean unit, child safe unit, organized unit. I have been going to Island House for 35 years and was disappointed with this unit.
