This property was presented through pictures as having privacy in the backyard/pool area. I am not sure if the fence was destroyed in the hurricane, but the entire backyard is open to the neighborhood. It is a very busy neighborhood, and one neighbor in particular was a fan of sitting on her porch watching my family when we enjoyed the pool. Had I known the pool was not private, I would’ve booked elsewhere.
The linens are all very old and stained. You can tell they have been well used with water turning them colors and piling taking place. I could get past that, if they didn’t have stains, but all three beds had a stain. The towels were the exact same way. Old, stained and very off putting. It doesn’t cost much to keep clean linens. The floors were all buckling, so I wouldn’t recommend walking barefoot in the house.
The kitchen was not well stocked for a family who actually cooks in the house. The utensils were the biggest concern. Mostly a bunch of old thrifted items, plastic melted utensils, one ok-ish skillet. We got by with what was there.
The positives on this home were the host vacation company. They were very easy to communicate with. I called to check on booking after the recent hurricane and they checked right away to ensure we still had a place to stay. The hot water was perfect, and the showers had great pressure. The pool was nice and kept my kiddos well entertained. Beach chairs, cooler and extras were nice!
