Here are the good things and the not so good things about our stay. The interior of the house is very comfortable with more than adequate amenities. We enjoyed that part of the trip. However, there was a large hole in our total enjoyment. We were accompanied by three granddaughters, 9 months, three years, and six years. One of the reasons we chose your place was the private pool. We never got a chance to use it. The pool was dirty, with leaves on the bottom and floating on top. The pool area had not been swept in a long time. The hot tub was cloudy, murky. Nobody was about to use either. Saturday morning two guys came and cleaned the pool and swept the pool area. But, since the entire family left the house about 10:00 AM for the SCAD graduation at 1:00 PM, there was no time to use the pool that morning. My daughter, her husband, and three daughters had to head toward Nashville as soon as that was over, about 3:30 PM. Thursday evening and all day Friday were all the open times we had to use the pool with the granddaughters. The kids never got a chance to get in the pool.
They did go to the beach Thursday and Friday. Friday night well after sundown on the edge of total darkness they witnessed a huge Loggerhead female exit the water, probably to lay eggs. There were other people on the beach which spooked her and she reentered the sea and left. Still, it was a wonderful experience for the kids.
One might ask why I did not call and get someone out to clean the pool. I paid a tidy sum for the facilities and in turn, I was supposed to receive specific things, among which was the pool. I should never have to ask for that which was supposed to have been provided, unless something broke, which does occasionally happen. I have a rental house too, so am familiar with things that break. In this instance, there was nothing broken, it was simply not useable due to not being clean. Additionally, thank goodness we were not planning to use the grill area as the table and chairs were also too dirty to use. The back porch and steps down to the pool were dirty and covered with leaves. My sister-in-law swept most of it in order to make it usable by the kids after they rinsed off after being at the beach.
I grade our visit as 2.5 stars at the most. Again, we did enjoy the interior of the home. It was large with comfortable beds. The unusable pool and pool area ruined the trip for us and our granddaughters. We will not be returning.
