I found this review difficult to write because if you asked how the week was â it was a great week and family vacation. 11 adults and 1 child. Let me start by saying the house is beautiful with some of the best waterfront views in the area. Beautiful sunsets every night. Just feet from the water. There was a stunning view from most sleeping areas and the main living space. The sandy (little bit rocky) beach was great for my toddler and the water crystal clear. The kayaks, paddle boat, floats and canoe were awesome. The house easily accommodated our party size. We were also 3 min from grocery stores, a Walmart, and restaurants. It was very private. That being said when we arrived the house was not very clean- The owner seemed slightly flustered at our arrival, and mentioned the messiness of prior guests more than once. And we were in fact unsure if had been cleaned properly between us and the prior renters. The floors were sandy, popcorn crumbs throughout the living room, there was an insole to someone's shoe on the floor of the dining room, there were half eaten Swedish fish on the master bedroom floor, there was rotting trash in one of the garbage cans- including half eaten watermelon, without even a garbage bag, some of the dishes in the cabinet were dirty and there were dirty used masks under 1 bed. There was also something in the downstairs shower that we cleaned that looked like blood spots. Despite these things we had a wonderful time. I had brought cleaning supplies to sterilize with so after taking out the trash and wiping the place down - none of this really took away from our trip.
However after we left we received a message from the owner that there was blood in another shower and cracked tiles, and she accused us of causing this damage. We noticed the cracks early in the week and nothing happened in the shower that could explain these findings. Furthermore she could not even supply a photo to document the blood. We are also being told that unless I have photos of the shower to document this or that a prior review mentions them I cannot prove I did not cause them. So I also wanted to note here there were cracks in the upstairs shower, a crack in the counter in the kitchen, some stains on the white corian, some cracked floor tiles, stains on the dining room chairs, a small rip in the couch, and a cracked Adirondack chair. I caution anyone staying here to be prepared to clean and photo-document everything.
