Check in wasn’t a breeze. The codes were both inaccurate. This house is perfect for a family, couple or group of friends. Though quite weathered, it’s very cute with eclectic beach house decor. Definitely felt home-ie and was comfortable, though not as clean as you’d except. White sheets have past stains/ marks on them, pool was very dirty. Tons of games and beach/ pool accessories are available for guests to use, even surfboards. The beach is literally within steps and the pier is a short walk away. The kitchen is fully stocked and has just about everything you’d need for your vacation. The only thing we didn’t find was a meat thermometer. The game room is where we spent the majority of our time- great for day or night with ping pong, air hockey and bumper pool table. Everything was smaller and older than it looked in the images, but still enjoyable. The pool is more of a lounge pool so not much space if you’re looking to swim or keep your distance while in the pool. It needed cleaning and didn’t appear to have been cleaned ahead of our arrival (murky and lots of fallen debris, and hair 🤢). We went in with hesitation.
Esthetically, there are things that need fixing (window blinds, air hockey game, pool cleaning process, hole near laundry room, fire pit), but livable. The fire pit wasn’t in working order during our stay. Pam did come over to install a part, which unfortunately didn’t seem to be the solution. It wasn’t fixed while we were at the house for three nights and we weren’t informed until the day prior to our visit.
Future guests should be aware that there is a SIGNIFICANT roach issue - outside in the covered porch and inside. I wouldn’t recommend if you are scared or squeamish about bugs like I am. If it wasn’t for being with a large group, some who aren’t scared to kill them, I would’ve left the property early. I slept with the lights on the third night. The first night we killed one. The second night SEVEN in the span of 3 minutes (more got away), and the third night two were killed though visibly more had gotten away. Not something any guest should have to deal with. There isn’t any bug spray in the house either. Also, there is an active large bees nest in the backyard, which was alarming. Pam did try to spray them with a bee spray, and sent a friend to deal with the roach issue, but neither effort seemed to help. It’s definitely a job for a pest control company. I wouldn’t stay again, despite how fun the porch was.
