Goal: provide detailed & balanced overview of property & our stay experience.Pros- Kitchen: good counter space. - Washer & dryer, outdoor shower, keyless entry, beach parking pass useful and handy.- Main area is relaxing for reading etc.- Decks add living space. - Quiet neighborhood w/almost no traffic. Overall private feel.Cons- Cleanliness of bathroom, kitchen, floors good. But many areas needed a good cleaning (baseboards, coffee table, window sills, end tables, decorative items). - At check in, ground level seating area had animal droppings. Did not leave a good impression; furniture also had sand on it. - 2 wet & soiled washcloths were sitting in the washing machine. - Kitchen reasonably clean, but cupboards & drawers VERY disheveled. Lots of utensils, etc, but the only "pancake flipper" heat damaged. One burner unpredictable.- Outdoor deck has seen better days. Had to be careful not to catch feet on nailheads. Topmost deck has a vertical railing post missing. - Furniture in main room is so-so. Well used & dingy.- Hair dryer missing.- Very dim lighting in staircase.- Mattress in yellow room has depressions. I slept with head at foot of bed.Very positive reviews from prior years. When furniture & mattresses were newer, decks in better condition, cleanliness and organization taken care of, items not missing, 5 star reviews make sense. We feel the property could use some attention to restore five star experience.
