Reviewer Comments:
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this property in its current condition. The biggest issue was an extremely strong musty odor throughout the house that we suspected may have been mold or mildew. The smell was overpowering when entering the home and actually clung to our clothes, luggage, and other belongings. We didn't fully realize how bad it was until we returned home and could still smell the house on everything. We ended up having to wash nearly everything we brought with us.Beyond the odor, the house was generally in a state of disrepair. The mattress covers underneath the sheets were stained, some of the fans did not work, the plumbing was slow to drain, and the furniture was old and damaged. The kitchen table appeared to be made from plywood and contributed to the overall feeling that the property had not been adequately maintained.The sliding door leading to the patio was also very difficult to lock, which we considered a safety concern.We understand that beach houses can be older and naturally experience more wear and tear from the coastal environment, and we don't expect a rental to be perfect. However, this went well beyond normal cosmetic wear. The combination of the pervasive musty odor, stained bedding covers, maintenance problems, damaged furnishings, and difficulty securely locking an exterior door made the property feel neglected.I do want to add that we have rented through Jekyll Realty for several years and have had lovely experiences with them and their properties. We will absolutely continue renting through them in the future—unfortunately, this particular property was just a dud.
