What I LOVED: LOTS of fresh towels available. Many vrbo's I've stayed in have barely had enough for a stay, so this was a lovely surprise! The LOCATION. Being able to walk straight out onto the beach was lovely, the view amazing, even seeing whales and dolphins out in the water one morning. A lovely walking distance to the pier.
NOT SO GREAT was that the livingroom doors still do not open, and this has been ongoing since at least October, as I read in another review. One of the couches was covered with a dirty sheet, so we just avoided that one. Communication with the owner was difficult to make happen, and once it did, it remained difficult in that she talked over me and raised her voice, as mentioned in another review as well. Her cleaning crew was late so we were unable to bring our groceries into the condo until over an hour past check in time. We set our groceries on the front step and walked the beach while we waited. During this time the owner called me and told me I needed to immediately go back to the condo to communicate with her cleaning crew for her, which I found very unprofessional. This was because although I felt the owner had given me permission to drop our bags at the condo early, the owner denied that she gave this permission unless the cleaning crew was present. I did not get that message when we spoke. When she called to give directions to get into the condo and the rules of staying there, she talked extremely fast, and I had to rapidly write 2pagesofinfo down. This info could be typed& emailedOn the last day of our stay, we left the condo one hour before checkout time to go walk for one last coffee. I forgot my phone so I went to go back in, and we were locked out. The combo to get into the condo had already expired! So watch out for that! Thank heavens I had accidentally left the bedroom sliding door unblocked, or we wouldn't have been able to get back in! Many windows in the condo didn't open, and it would get stuffy at times. Fan in the master bathroom broken, and even the toilet paper roll holder was held together by electrical tape. These little things wouldn't matter so much if the owner had not spoken harshly to me on the phone. I didn't feel that I would want to contact her even if I needed to after being treated like an employee by her. The cleaning crew should have been contacted ahead of time by the owner so they knew we would be dropping our bags off early. We did not have a car to store them in until checkin time.
