We arrived late in the evening after a million stops with our kids. Checking in and entering the property was easy, nothing out of the ordinary. The house was in a fantastic location close to everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better location. Outside space was perfect for our children who played outside any time we were there, rode their scooters all over the neighborhood, and overall had a great time.
The home is true to pictures. Older, quaint, small, but completely adorable. The beds we’re comfortable, the appliances worked well, and the overall functionality of the house was perfect. Right off the bat, however, the floors were noticeably dirty. I don’t mean a few spot here and there. I mean literally any time my kids walked with no shoes on (which was often) the bottoms their feet were black within minutes. It was very obvious the home had only had the surfaces wiped down and linens changed but nothing to the floors. I put off sweeping the floor until the next morning as we were all exhausted from a long day of traveling and needed to rest. The next morning I swept the entire house and the resulting pile of dirt, dust, white/grey hairs and pills from under the beds and dressers was alarming. More alarming since we had very small children with us. Thankfully the broom and small mop were available to us so I spent an hour the first morning making sure the floors were cleaner and safer for us all. (I will also note here that we have 4 small mess making children so our standards are not unreasonably high by any stretch.)
My only other real complaint (?) would be that the internet is shoddy at best. This should definitely be looked into as more than 1 tv or device couldn’t stream at the same time. This made it very difficult when attempting to do any work from the house. While the amount of work needing to be done was admittedly minimal, the one time we had to remotely access our business’ computers to fix an issue, it proved impossible using the house’s Wi-Fi.
Overall, we did still have a great stay. We had an amazing family getaway and we all came home happy which is our only real concern. We would definitely rent again in the future as the size of the house and amenities and proximity to the beach were great. However, professional housekeeping and upgraded Wi-Fi would greatly improve the experience.
*One last thing* There were plenty of towels and hand towels for us, but only 1 single, solitary wash cloth for 6 people.
