The location was unmatched—perfect beach access right over the dune, a quiet stretch of beach, and very easy to walk back and forth. Unfortunately, the house itself did not match the location.Two beds were extremely worn and sagged badly in the center. One guest left during the night to buy an air mattress and eventually took his family to a hotel. We also checked into a hotel a day before our trip ended.Three dead cockroaches were found upstairs, including in bedrooms, right after check-in. We understand palmetto bugs are common at the beach, but finding them inside a freshly cleaned rental was disturbing.The master bed was great, but the bathroom had a strong sewer smell. We found the double sinks were missing any drain traps, allowing sewer gas into the house. Bathrooms were dated, and the master shower had what appeared to be mold or heavy dirt.Dishes and cookware were dirty, the kitchen sink backed up, and the disposal was frozen. We had to plunge the sink ourselves. The living room TV intermittently lost sound, and the dryer took 2–3 cycles to dry clothes.The AC struggled, reaching 75–80 during the day even on its lowest setting. Both return filters were extremely clogged; we replaced them ourselves, but it didn’t help much. The front doorknob also fell off and we had to repair it.The location is fantastic, but several of these issues are inexcusable for a vacation rental. The house needs significant maintenance before being rented again.
