The house was in an excellent location, with easy access to both the beach and town. We also really appreciated the covered swimming pool, which was a nice escape from the summer sun.
Overall, the inside of the house was fine, but we did encounter several issues. The ice maker and water dispenser did not work, so we had to purchase water from the store or drink from the tap. The inside of the refrigerator was also rusty.
The biggest concern was cleanliness and disrepair. There was black mold covering the inside of the shower handle in the master bathroom. It was one of those older 1970s clear plastic pull handles, and the mold was quite noticeable. Several pull-out closets were not in their tracks. The ladders on the kids bunk beds were unsafe due to the latches being broken so they could not be used.
We also had an issue with ants in the kitchen. On the first night, they came out in large numbers and completely covered a sealed, brand new box of donuts. After that, we kept all of our food either in the refrigerator or microwave. There were also quite a few mosquitoes around the pool, so we would recommend bringing bug spray.
The location and covered pool were definitely positives, but given the maintenance, cleanliness, and pest issues we experienced, we are unlikely to choose this home again.
