Instead of some lengthy babble about our entire stay, I’m just going to create a pro/con list for this property.
Pros:
Proximity to beach was excellent
Cons:
House sways & moves in the wind. Yes, you read that right, when someone in another room walks it causes the whole house to shimmy. If you’re laying in any bed you are being shaken as if you are on a cruise ship bed due to the wind moving the house constantly. Everyone in our party noticed it immediately. I can only assume there are some structural issues as we have stayed in many oceanfront homes & never experienced anything like that.
-The steps on the rear deck leading to the beach are very splintered & shaky. Some pieces are about to come off completely. You had to walk gingerly to keep from flipping up loose boards.
-The on-suite shower in the master Is barely big enough to fit in it. It is better suited for a kid than an adult.
-The entry staircase had spindles on the ground when we arrived & we later found another broken piece barely hanging on that had been blowing against the house in the wind making a loud noise.
-The permanent neighbor next door to this home as a barking dog that yapped from the time we arrived until we left. Sitting on the deck to enjoy the view wasn’t an option as the dog spent a majority of the day on their deck. Our oceanfront view could only be admired from inside due to that. Each time we walked to the beach we had the pleasure of hearing the barking & he could still be heard from the beach.
I’m not sure if we were the first family to stay here post Covid19, but I got the vibe that a once around check of the property had not been done to catch deck board issues, the wood laying on the ground, loose bedroom door handles, loose towel holders & toilet paper dispensers. Overall, you couldn’t beat the logistics of this home’s location to the beach & surrounding amenities. Unfortunately, those are the only bright spots I can associate with this property.
