An expensive disappointment
This house is on the corner of a busy road with a lot of traffic. The neighborhood is a typical suburban neighborhood with ranch houses - traffic on both roads, nothing to suggest you are near a beach. The beach itself is just over a mile away. Parking is a nightmare. The house is advertised for 6+ guests but upon arrival, we discovered that it only comes with 4 beach passes. You can drive to other towns/beaches (& pay) but there is just no natural beauty here.
When we arrived, Susan met us at the house and showed us around. She pointed out that the previous owners had stupidly installed kitchen flooring that couldn't withstand water, and so the floor was warped in several places. When we left, she accused us of somehow flooding the kitchen and destroying some floorboards - including the ones that were warped when we arrived. She withheld our security deposit and told us she was using our (mandatory) insurance to replace her whole kitchen floor. Maybe this is her strategy for fixing up the house, which she plans to retire to in the future - ?
Also, she left us with no dishwasher soap, no kitchen soap, no laundry detergent and two half-rolls of TP in the bathrooms. And a smoke detector that had expired several years before and thus when it started its incessant beeping could not even be repaired with new batteries (which WE bought and paid for).
The house was overpriced to begin with. When you add in the money she took for "repairs," it's just terrible.
