Overall our stay was good, however there were a few hiccups along the way. We went with all young adults, so if you were to be traveling with children or older adults, I would not recommend this home if you plan to use the private beach. There are 310 stairs (to be exact) to walk down and backup, it was extremely difficult with a backpack cooler and chair. This home would not be a place I'd stay with my children or with older adults as they would never make it back up the stairs. The beach was smaller due to the high water levels, but just enough for us to enjoy. The views were amazing, sunsets were beautiful and the fire-pit was perfect!
The house could use a little TLC, paint was chipped, walls were in rough shape and blinds were broken. The rooms that didn't have a private bathroom could use mirrors, so it would be easier while everyone was getting ready. The light switch in the bathroom upstairs should be checked as it was just a pain in the butt!
The OVEN! Oh my, it was awful! It took forever for your food to cook and when it did, the bottom of everything was burnt. Then the alarm on the oven, it wouldn't stop going off, even after resetting the fuse as instructed by the maintenance guy. Eventually we ended up just turning the fuse off so we wouldn't be woke up in the middle of the night. The oven needs to be replaced or fixed by a company!
The set up for the bedrooms was a bit weird. There is one master bedroom on the main floor with a private bath, three bedrooms upstairs-one has a private bath, the other two share a bath and then two bedrooms in the basement that share a bathroom. The rooms in the basement are very dark and cold.
The other huge inconvenience was the WiFi, it is absolutely terrible! Even with only one phone connected to WiFi, we could not keep a phone continuously connected to enjoy the surround sound with music. There was no cell service with Verizon or at&t either! The only way to make a call was by walking out to the road or occasionally by the stairs to the beach.
Lastly the cleaning of the house was not great, especially given COVID timing. We found dirty socks under one bed, hair on sheets which we has to rewashed, the waterproof mattress cover was full of stains. And when cleaning the handrails to the upstairs with our own wipes they were black, full of germs and dirt.
Although many hiccups and issues, the house was in a great location for shopping, golfing and the public beach just down the street.
