My group of friends and spouse all in our seventies had planned a very rare reunion of us all. We had grown up in the same neighborhood, and this would be the first time we had spent more than a couple of hours together since our teen years. On October 4,2019 rented the Dream House for Apri 24, 2020 through April 28,2020. Unfortunately Covid 19 had struck and we were forced to reschedule for October 23, 2020 through October 27, 2020. Again unfortunately, Hurricane Sandy then came and caused us to reschedule again for October 1, 2021 through October 5, 2021. We finally were able to all meet at our rental on 10/01/2021 except for losing four of our members due to illness. Upon arrival checking in was easy and all went well. The house was beautiful and the view was excellent. After getting settled we began to notice discrepancies in the care and cleaning of the house. Light fixtures were extremely dirty and fogged. Cookware (pots and pans) were caked with burned on grease residue and food and were unusable until scrubbed. The barbeque pit, again, was unusable until degreased and scrubbed inside and out before use. The forth floor observation deck had a light fixture which was inoperable and hanging loose with exposed wires. The dinning table set which was beautiful had several of the chairs that the legs were so loose on them that you were afraid to sit in them for fear they would collapse. The third floor beach side east bath shower had mold growing on the ceiling. Many things were broken or inoperable, such as the kitchen cabinet pulls broken, loose or missing. Of the two dishwashers only one was operable, the second one would have yo be restarted to finish a cycle. Dish washer trim molding falling off. Last but not least we has to spray all of the sleeping rooms for an infestation of roaches and palmetto bugs. We also were unaware of having to supply all toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies such as, dish washing detergent, and trash bags.
Given all of the issues, we had waited for this time together for almost two years and did not want to dwell on the discrepancies and spoil our time together. We just tried to overlook all of this and deal with it. Again the house is beautiful!!! It just needs to have much needed repairs, upgrades and deep cleaning and insect extermination.
