VERY disappointing stay. We came for a short family vacation- 4 nights.
The pictures of the house are better than in person & it looks more spacious than it actually is. The house is an old beach house- which I gathered going into it. The is no central AC- only a window unit upstairs & it's VERY loud. The floors slant, esp in the upstairs bathroom. The toilets take two flushes to flush. The furniture is fine. There was sand on the furniture when we arrived- a lack of a through cleaning from previous renters. There is a small set of actual dishes & glasses , but the majority if the kitchenware is plastic. The beds were comfortable, except for the downstairs bunk beds which were very rickety & would make me nervous to have anyone sleep on the top bunks. The stairs going up to second floor are pretty steep & very narrow.
The owners are literally RIGHT BESIDE YOU on the front deck. If there are people on their deck, and there always was, you can hear every word. They were also over on our side of the deck rearranging the deck furniture, putting covers on & off the furniture because of rain, putting up and taking down flags. At one point I had just gotten out of the shower & was cracking the sliding door from the master bedroom & there was the owner on our side of the deck covering a chair- she just laughed & stood rt there in front of me!
They washed their car in the driveway- not really what I want to see on vacation in front of me. They had friends coming and going, which came up the main stairs to the deck that we were on, there is a private entrance under the deck that they should've used while having renters on the top deck. Very intrusive- there was no privacy whatsoever. Not sure if they thought they were being helpful, but our polite no "thank you's" and "we're fine" should have been an indicator that we did not want to be bothered. The worst situation was when we informed them that the downstairs toilet was not flushing properly. We only had one more night and we told them it was fine & we could just use the upstairs one. We told them this as we were going out to get something to eat & that out teenage daughter was taking a nap inside so they could look at it later. Sure enough, when we came back, the man said he had gone in and fixed it AND checked the upstairs toilet as well! Again our 14yr old daughter was inside napping ALONE! I was outraged, but did not say anything because we were leaving in the morning. Will never stay/recommend
