The is a great little house that offers all the comforts of home.
Pros: location 2 blocks from promade 3 blocks from the strip.
Spacious: one large master with walk in closet, full bath with walk in shower and TV. Full kitchen with everything you need to feel right at home. Plenty of seating inside and outside.
Decor: Charming beach themed throughout.
Parking: Open garage and driveway for parking so you don't have to park on street or blocks away.
Sleeping: plenty of extra blankets, sheets and pillows. Master bed was very comfortable, I slept soooo good!
Kitchen: Everything you need to cook, eat, drink, etc. Spices, coffee, tea, couple food item and more.
Cleanliness pros: Home smelled and looked clean when we walked in, and for the most part it was. Could it use some detail dusting? Absolutely. Vents, decor, toilet paper holders, etc. One detail I was very happy with was the bathrooms. I always check around the toilets and baseboards anytime I stay somewhere. I have been in many nicer places that did not come close to the cleanliness of here. The toilet and surrounding area was very clean which are big points for me. If the other items were cared for as much as the toilets and baseboards, then this place would be a gem!!
Cons: Floors upstairs are very squeaky and I would not recommend sleeping downstairs.
Master bedroom had no batteries in the remotes. I had to pull batteries from other items/ remotes/ had to search through draws - minor inconvenience.
Cleanliness Cons: Walking in the house smelled clean and "looked" clean. For the most part it was but I would recommend to the house cleaner to move the furniture at least once per week and clean under it. This normally would not be a huge deal but when I moved the couch out so I could be closer to the TV, I noticed an odd sticky substance mixed with a lot of filth. I started wiping it up and realized it was urine... Likely from someone's pet. In addition, we could not walk on the floors barefoot downstairs because our feet would get filthy. Floor could use a good mopping after every stay; especially after pets...
To the owners, I highly recommend you speak with whoever is responsible for cleaning your home and address this issue, as they should be mopping after every stay.
Middle bedroom with pull out sofa:
The sofa was pretty dirty... We literally had to wipe dirt, fur, dander, etc. Off before we laid sheets down. You may think I'm exaggerating but this was a little too dirty for me to overlook. I understand pets get things dirty, I have a dog at home myself, but this is precisely why extra cleaning is required. I would recommend the cleaner check that sofa after known pets are here because it literally looked like a dog bed that had never been cleaned. Do a quick vacuum and ulpolstry cleaning when needed. Also, the comforter in that same room smelled like urine so we could not even use it.
The sheets in the master bedroom were not folded and just crumpled up and thrown up in the closet, so I was not even sure if there were clean :(
Over all review: Even though there were some cleaning issues and minor inconveniences, I would absolutely without a doubt stay here again! I would have given this stay 5 stars hands down if more detail was given to cleaning. This day and age reviews are everything! They can make or break a place, and I do not take them lightly. I am very honest with my reviews because of this. I hope my review finds the owners so they can address the issues with their house cleaner. This place could be a hidden gem but you must pay attention to detail when it comes to bedding and floors as peoples skin are exposed to these things.
If anyone is thinking about staying here please understand that even tho there were some issue...
