House is in a good location for beach access. House is dated and could use an update throughout and a deep cleaning. The kitchen cookware is few and far between and needs to be overhauled. There is no pantry and essentially no kitchen storage for food. We ended up using tables to store purchased food for the week.Home had no working cable/satellite tv. I contacted rental agency, but didn't receive any assistance that resolved any issues.

Thank you for your feedback and for pointing out the positives about the home’s location and beach access. I do, however, want to address your other comments directly. This home is professionally cleaned and inspected prior to every arrival, and I stand by the fact that it is maintained to a high standard. I take cleanliness very seriously, and had I been made aware during your stay that you felt a deeper clean was needed, I would have gladly sent the team back out right away to address it. As for the kitchen, the home is stocked according to occupancy standards and reviewed regularly. I understand every guest has different cooking styles and expectations, but if you had let me know you needed additional cookware or supplies, I would have happily arranged to provide them. While the home does not include a walk-in pantry, there is ample cabinet storage for food and supplies, and I would have been glad to help you organize a solution had I been informed of your concerns during your visit. Regarding television service, the home provides streaming options rather than cable or satellite, which is clearly stated in the listing. I always encourage guests to review the amenities carefully before booking, and I am available to walk through how to access the streaming services if needed. I am glad you enjoyed the location, and I appreciate your feedback. I always encourage open communication during the stay so I can address concerns immediately, rather than after departure. Guest satisfaction is my top priority, and I work very hard to ensure that every stay is a positive experience.

Unfortunately there were some issues, and overall we were disappointed. I’m not sure if you’ve been onsite to see the property, but the pictures do not accurately display the current status. Certain features were listed as an amenity, but were not functional. The foosball table is rusted and falling apart. The basketball goal is bent. The shower curtains and windows have black mold. There were also 3 rat bait stations surrounding the home, and made it difficult to ensure no one came into contact. I’m not sure why they would have 3 bait stations around a home that size? The downstairs room was not a habitable room. I have pictures if you need a reference of the status. I appreciate the property mangers professionalism and customer service, but I will have to provide a transparent rating and review of the property to ensure other families and personnel have an accurate description.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry your stay was disappointing, I wish I had known about these issues during your visit so I could’ve addressed them right away. I’ve made sure the foosball table, basketball goal, and other items are taken care of. The pest control stations are standard safety measures, and no incidents were reported during your stay. I really appreciate your kind words about our team, and thanks again for staying with us!
