This is the first beach property I have stayed in during the past 10 years that provided zero in terms of beach items - no chairs, no wagon, not even so much as a kid's sand bucket! Also, no hair dryers. This seems like a small thing except you don't realize it until after you have washed your hair and would like to go out!
The other issue we had was with the property management company. Though we rented from VRBO, this property is managed by Southern Resorts. Our smoke detector started chirping in the middle of the night (don't they always?) Monday night. I alerted the management company first thing Tuesday morning. No one came Tuesday and when I asked was told "sorry, we just didn't get to it/". My husband had to climb up on a chair to remove the smoke detector from the ceiling so that we could sleep Tuesday night. I was assured someone would come Wednesday, but no one came at all dujring the trip.
If the property management company was performing basic maintenance and changed the batteries as suggested twice a year, this would never have happened. But to have it happen and then never resolved it really unacceptable.
The house itself was very nice and exactly as pictured. But the issues overshadowed our stay.
