This rustic beach house that promised a charming getaway ultimately fell short.
First, the layout was misleading. The third "bedroom" was actually a game and TV room, making privacy difficult for larger groups. The furnishings were worn and uncomfortable; every piece, except for the leather recliner, was stained. The carpet had large circular stains (pet stains?), and the sofa sleeper was not a conventional sofa bed, but a pull out drawer that kept collapsing during the night. The futons were hard, and despite our requests, extra bedding was insufficient to improve the comfort.
Additionally, the towel supply was inadequate for seven guests over 4 nights, with only nine bath towels and three hand towels. The kitchen lacked essential supplies, and despite reaching out to Meredith Lodging for assistance, we received no follow-up.
Safety concerns also marred our stay. The hot and cold water in the kitchen and bathroom was reversed, posing burn risks, especially for families with young children. The shower door had no handles, making it difficult to use, and the lack of screens on windows meant bugs for us (with no small kids), but could be dangerous for others.
Despite some charming elements, the overall neglect and discomfort overshadowed our experience. I cannot recommend this property for a relaxing beach getaway, as it left much to be desired. I hope management addresses these issues for future guests. Until then, I suggest looking elsewhere for a more enjoyable stay.
