With Some Investment, Could be a 5 Star Property
The house is adorable and has so much potential. We liked the location as it was literally a mile and half from Atlantic Avenue and the Pineapple Grove Arts district. I think if there was more investment, it could be a 5 star property. A couple of thoughts:
We had issues with the AC. The first night, we were sweltering; the AC would go no lower than 75. I could not find a manual with instructions on how to regulate the temperature. There was a heat icon and snowflake icon lit but no temperature change. The host did send an AC repair person over to fix. An AC manual should be included in the welcome binder.
There is no ice maker in refrigerator. When I inquired, I was told it has been broken since the host bought the house. Fix the ice maker. No Florida rental should be without an ice maker.
The pool is lovely but fills very quickly with leaves and debris from the trees above it. I cleaned the filter daily and skimmed as best as I could but the skimmer has holes in it. Get a new skimmer net.
The beds are uncomfortable. The only bedroom that did not get a complaint was the bedroom with the twin beds.
The kitchen was well equipped with utensils but not serving dishes, large plates, etc.
The grills in the yard are charcoal. So be prepared to bring a bag of charcoal with you if you plan to grill. This should be mentioned in the property description.
There is no access to the garage. Your car will be out in the elements for the duration of your stay.
