The property is advertised as PRISTINE, which unfortunately did not match our experience. We encountered cleanliness and maintenance issues in the kitchen, with the area rugs, and throughout the home. The condition left us uncertain whether the towels and linens had been properly laundered. We ultimately cleaned cabinets, washed dishes and placemats, and laundered towels and linens ourselves so we could feel confident the items we were using were clean. I even spoke with the owner twice the day after we arrived about the dirty kitchen cabinets and inquired about laundering the sofa covers. The bathroom exhaust fan rattled loudly enough to make us concerned it might come loose from the ceiling. The owner also told us the air-conditioning filter is replaced only once a year, which raised concerns about routine maintenance.The owners are nice people and clearly care about their property. They were helpful with restaurant and shopping recommendations. I understand we arrived at the end of the season, and the owner explained that the property would be reset in October. However, the end of the season should not mean guests receive anything less than a clean, well-maintained environment.The home itself is bright and airy, and you can tell the owners love it. With more attention to cleaning and maintenance, it could live up to that positive first impression and the “pristine” description.
