The Pro's of this home are it's proximity to the beach. It has more than adequate bed spacing, dining and couch space. The beds we utilized were very comfortable. The outdoor shower is nice and gives you a nice spot to stow your beach stuff away. Owner allowed us to check in and hour early, because the maid was done. Problem is she wasn't done..... and that's where the Pro's end. The bathrooms were dirty with someone's stray hairs and "blue" shampoo clearly all over ALL of the tubs/shower walls. To my dismay, I started my vacay cleaning. There were cigarette butts on front and back patios. The kitchen was very dirty... everywhere the fridge, the oven, the dishes, the microwave was disgusting... there were LIVE BUGS crawling around inside it. When I advised the owner and sent her a video of the bugs crawling around- she was polite; however, she stated that she was sorry it wasn't "up to our standards" She offered to come spray while we were there, but my daughter to sensitive to repellents, so I asked her to wait until we checked out. It is also important to note, this isn't the owner's fault but the water is not acceptable for drinking, cooking, or in my opinion showering. She did notify us of that once we booked. I wish I had known beforehand how bad it is. It literally has a VERY STRONG odor to it. The owner did supply some bottled water in the fridge.
Needless to say we ventured out to eat for all meals and refrained from using the kitchen once we saw the bugs. We checked out a day early, honestly pretty disappointed with the house that we paid a ton of money per night for! We left the house cleaner than we found it, so hopefully the next guests will have a better experience. I do feel like we should have been refunded our housekeeping fee, as the house was just plain dirty.
