We had a beautiful week with our family but did have some concerns over the general maintenance of the home. First,we couldn’t ask for a more perfect location, the beach and Gulf are a short walk from the front door and there were a few beach chairs, an umbrella and a few sand toys for our grandchild. There is a nice pool but we didn’t use it because it was always shaded, making it a little too chilly. There’s lots of foliage that might allow more sunlight if it could be heavily trimmed. One concern was the lack of a door alarm to indicate someone was accessing the pool area. With having a small child, we would have liked the extra layer of protection to have an alarm. We tried to be conscientious in cleaning our feet before ending the house but the hose nozzle leaked so much, water sprayed in every direction but your feet. There’s adequate seating and areas for eating but prepping meals was a challenge. The built in microwave didn’t work although the maintenance person said the parts were there. We had difficulty lighting the front burners on the stove and seemed that the burners needed a thorough cleaning to improve gas flow. The stove vent hood was also not functioning. By the end of the week, the dishwasher also stopped working. These were all inconveniences that hampered our ability to fully enjoy our experience. We reached out to the rental agency and they responded quickly, sent a maintenance person but none of the issues with the appliances could be fixed. Knowing this is rented week to week, it’s unacceptable to not have functioning appliances and we paid rent for a property advertised as having those amenities in the home. No compensation for the inconvenience was offered. For a property called “Absolutely Perfect” , it didn’t reflect its name. We’d love to say we booked it again for next year but this property needs to have appliances repaired and general repairs of rusted toilet p
