Our initial impression upon arriving was disappointment. My grandson who arrived before me came out yelling there's roaches and it's dirty. Well, there was truth to both--a dead roach lying on the floor in the family room, a spot on the floor where something was spilled. Gritty floors, windows so dirty we could not see out of them. I actually wiped the top section of two, and they would have been so easy and quick to clean. The sofas were dirty and there was debris under the cushions, so they clearly were not cleaned. The closet in the downstairs master was unusable due to dripping moisture. The "rec room" with no heat or a/c would be a harbor for mold, and we did not occupy that space at all. The range top was dirty--we cleaned it. There were no skillets so we purchased two for food prep. Pictures on the website touted a hammock but it was not there. Overall, the house is very shabby, with shutters falling off on several levels, nails popping up on the stairs, heat pouring out in the twin-bed room from the attic and air conditioning unit with paper or tape stuffed in holes. On a positive note, the proximity to the beach was good, we had clean linens and towels for each bedroom, and additional a/c units in upstairs to ensure reasonable comfort. Response to issues such as air conditioning out on top floor were resolved quickly. In summary, the house needs major maintenance/cleaning, and I would not recommend it to anyone or ever reserve it again.
