Nice house but...
This is a tale of the good, bad and ugly. The house is nicely decorated, nice floor plan and is reasonably well appointed with respect to things you need to stay for a few days. The bedding is clean and the house has a view of the ocean. The elevator is a great plus for luggage, groceries, and those nights when you are too tired to do the stairs! It works well. Rounding out the good, the manager/owner is very responsive and appears to care.
The bad...the house is not very clean (think corners, baseboards, etc.). The owner indicated they paint monthly. Well, I could see where they painted (on the cupboard, by the trash can with paint that did not quite match). He told me that the grunge under the cupboard door handles, on pantry door, on the baseboards, on the vents, was 'normal wear and tear.' Well, when I took a rag and cleaner to the pantry shelves, to the kitchen cupboards, the 'wear and tear' came off.
The ugly- there was a repair man working on the dry wall...he walked through the house up to the kitchen tracking dry wall dust everywhere... ugly but not the end of the world. The beach access is a drive (this I knew) but I didn't realize how much I would miss walking out the door onto the beach. The neighborhood is showing signs of wear (sign is broken, etc.).
Overall, this was a good house for our needs but I would not stay again. And with the pretty substantial cleaning fee, one expects cleanliness and no ask for doing laundry.
