This is a fabulous property, perfectly clean, well-appointed, spacious, a short walk to the beautiful beach, etc. Our experience was spoiled by having 50% of our security deposit withheld for "extra" cleaning and being accused of showing lack of respect for the property. When we asked why $250 had been withheld from our security deposit, we were provided with a list of transgressions, which included child
fingerprints on door jams, using too much toilet paper, leaving a string decoration on a blind, failure to clean the interior of the microwave, not washing out the utensil trays, not stacking things in the closet exactly as we found them, and not hosing off the sand toys (yes, this was our fault--we got caught in a sudden storm at the beach on our last day and forgot to retrieve the toys from under the deck to wash them down after the storm had passed). The worst part was not the loss of our deposit, but being accused, in writing, of blatant disrespect for the home. This hurt because our intergenerational family group of 12 people tried very hard to take good care of everything. Six adults judged the house to be in good shape upon our departure. We ended up feeling misjudged and mistreated.
