Verified traveller

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
The positives:- Great beach location, well maintained property and 2 pool areas- Easy check-in, and clean / updated unit- Easy parking- Friendly staff and guestsThe not-so positives:- The bed frame was broken on arrival, causing the top middle of the bed to sag, making it feel like you were sleeping on a negative incline. After 2 nights of this, I removed the mattress and box spring, and bent the frame support back in place, which worked for the rest of our stay.- There were pretty much no consumables provided other than an initial roll of paper towels and a single extra roll of toilet paper. No surface cleaning spray or trash bags, so you'll need to bring those with you or purchase them along with extra TP and paper towels. I sent a message on the VRBO app to the host and never received a response.
