I wish I could grade this property between four and five stars because it’s certainly better than four, but not quite five.
I had requested to check in a bit earlier than the 4 PM window but was told that it probably couldn’t be accommodated because the unit was being rented the week before our arrival and needed to be cleaned and inspected. Completely understandable and certainly nothing that I could deduct points over.
To my surprise, on check in day, I received an text at about 1:30 letting me know the unit was ready. Arrived the the office, (which is located right next to Food Lion) I spent about 2 minutes tops inside and was on my way to the unit.
The unit itself was exactly as described in the photos so there were no surprises. I have stayed at 3 other properties inside Kingston Plantation and had good experiences but the locations were not as good as this one I can’t find anything to complain about here as you are only a thirty second walk from the beach.
The unit seemed clean for the most part, with a few spots that looked like they were missed by the clean up crew. The screened in deck seemed to be forgotten about , and while I could imagine it’s just about impossible to get rid of the sand, no matter how hard someone tries, there still seemed to be an excessive amount that we cleaned. The furniture as has been mentioned by other reviewers seems to have seen better days, but it didn’t stop us from sitting out there each morning having some coffee or breakfast. The table and chairs could have used a wipe down by someone other than me or my wife.
The kitchen had all of the silverware and pans/pots that we needed. The dishwater, stove and fridge all seemed to be in perfectly good working order. Complaints in the kitchen would be that there were only two dish towels in the unit and the sink didn’t seem to have great pressure but still enough to clean dishes before they went into the dishwasher. The toaster also works but doesn’t seem to do a great job.
The bathrooms were good, the showers had good pressure with plenty of hot water. The washer and dryer were also in good order.
The beds in the front bedroom weren’t the most comfortable, but they weren’t the least either and nobody lost sleep using them.
All in all, a great unit in an even better location. None of the complaints listed above rose to the level of needing to make a call to the manager in my eyes and I enthusiastically recommend this unit.
