This is difficult to describe. The property needs updating and it was very shabby-not shabby chic.Almost all the furniture was in bad shape. -BUT, It was a family vacation and everyone greatly appreciated the private bathrooms for each bedroom. However, we had to clean nearly everything before we could use it. The bathrooms were wiped clean but the toilets had not seen a brush under the rims...The floors were dirty, the silverware and utensil drawers filthy, the coffee maker still had old coffee grounds left in it, the pots and pans had stuck on food, the woodwork is grungy, the outer doors were black (and it wiped off easily). There were no cleaning products so we had to go buy everything including a decent broom and dustpan to get all the sand out of the rooms. The vacuum cleaner had not been emptied in forever and barely worked until we cleaned it. There were work clothes left in a drawer in one of the bedrooms from a previous tenant. The pool had a green ring around the edge that also was cleanable but the water was clear. The pool man came midweek and cleaned the pool edge etc. The owner was advised and he sent the cleaning lady back but by that time I had a house full of children and adults and had cleaned most of everything possible. We left the place waaay better than we found it. I asked for a partial refund of the cleaning fee...No Dice. We left no linens, towel, etc. (had to rent them ourselves) The beds were made as we found them, all counters and dishware had been washed and put away, all appliances shined, all surfaces disinfected and polished, all floors swept. We left no trash. The deck and pool area are great. The beach was great. The rooms worked out ok. but bring your own pillows. The owner was very available. The ceiling in the living room is very damaged and needs repair. I think this could be a great house if the furniture was replaced and the most obvious items taken care of. I understand it is a beach house rental...but no excuse for showing pretty pics that are not accurately representative of the unit.
