Yes, my family and I had a good time celebrating my birthday last week. There were just too many inconveniences for me to want to return to this home. It’s a beautiful home that is clean, well appointed and is convenient to the beach. It was convenient that the home had 6 bedrooms each bedroom has an en-suite. It also has an elevator that we used to get our luggage to the upper levels. It was also convenient that the house has a large garage to park in, however, they will not supply a garage code to open the garage door. You must walk around to the front of the house, input the code in the front door, go to the garage and open the door to pull the car in. Then when you leave you must back out, have someone close the garage door, leave through the front door and walk around the house to get in the car.
There were quite a few inconveniences that could easily be remedied but there is no flexibility. If they would maybe charge me an extra $100 a week they could leave an extra roll of paper towels, toilet paper, garbage sack, dish, laundry and bath soap. We had to go buy all of these items and they are sold in packs much larger than we needed for a week. Then we are threatened with loss of security deposit if we don’t throw out everything. What a waste!! I would have left trash bags, laundry soap, dishwasher pods, paper towels and toilet paper for the next family if I’d thought they’d get it. Btw, there was only salt and pepper in those awful picnic shakers so we did leave fresh sets with grinders, How does a family/group stay for a week without needing these items? Also, having to pack beach towels to go on a beach vacation really fills your luggage.
We couldn’t get the grill to light at lunch the first day. They didn’t respond to our text for hours. The master shower didn’t work and they sent a repair person on the 3rd day after we texted.
Because air travel is no longer flexible we were on a flight that landed at 11 am. We can not check in to the house until 4 pm. This wouldn’t have been as inconvenient if we didn’t have a 3 month old that needs naps, bottles made, etc but we did. Then having to check out at 10 am forced us to leave a day early so we didn’t have the same inconveniences of waiting in an airport for hours before flights leave to our destination. I’m sure you think my name is Karen but I feel like if I had been told about all of the inconveniences I may have chosen another home/management group.. ?
