The home was just as pictured and only a 10 minute walk to the beach, as advertised. So we enjoyed the use of the house and had a wonderful time at the beach and riding bikes around the island.
However, we had a few problems. First, many of the dishes were dirty in the cupboards (virtually all of the glasses), there was hair in two of the showers and on the beds, and the air conditioning system was on some sort of weird timer that would lower the temp to 66-70 degrees at random times throughout the day so no matter how many times we adjusted the temp, it would become an icebox several hours later. (Oh and the vents are directly over the beds so you feel every frigid degree when it drops...I closed the vent over the bed in the MB and still woke up cold). The management team sent a crew out to clean the house (and dishes) again and someone came to adjust the thermometer (it still went went down to freezing at night even after he came), but the damage had already been done. We had already used a few of the dishes before we realized they were dirty....during a pandemic! We can only pray the previous guests did not have Covid.
In addition, there were no instructions on how to use the lock box when we arrived (you had to hold one button while you pushed up on another while you punched in the code or something) and there was an additional lockbox on the door as well (for real estate agents), further confusing everything. So we had to wait outside on the porch for at least a half an hour until they could contact someone who knew how to use the lock (we arrived on a Sunday when the Sweetgrass office was closed). Simple instructions on the door or in the email they sent with the code would have saved us some heartache.
Finally, if you tell people the beach is a 10- minute walk, it would be nice if you had a little map or instructions or something on how to get there (turn left, go to the end of the street, find the path through the trees in between two houses, go over the bridge, turn left again, then you’ll see a sign that says “beach” and just follow the signs from there.). But we had to call the Sweetgrass office for directions and then had to ask a resident after we crossed over the little bridge....it is NOT self explanatory, but once you do it once or twice, it’s easy.
So great house, just a few details that were overlooked that could have made this stay perfect.
