Pros:
Serene location, quiet and quaint community. Away from the hustle and bustle of town but only 20-25 minutes to find fun things to do.
Easy “check-in” with the key code access.
Loved having the ceiling fans!
Plenty of towels for the visit and having a washer and dryer was such a treat!
We had instructions for setting the trash can out but someone took care of it for us and took ours to the road.
Just enough toiletries to get the week started, it was nice having a jump start.
Cons:
This was the first time I have rented “outside” of VRBO. That process was ALOT of extra steps that was different than any other rental. I was almost hesitant at first because they wanted my card information over the phone and a lot of extra paperwork to have signed. It was difficult to keep all my information together since it wasn’t on the app or to know what all had been done and completed/paid for.
Oil riggers visible across the entire horizon, counted over 13. Totally a necessary thing to have, but definitely obstructs a near perfect sunset. Very few shells at this beach. Other beach goers leave their canopies and belongings all week blocked a great deal of the real estate along the beach directly by the public access point. Kitchen was lacking baking pans which was addressed after we left. The oven was in need of a good clean, when we first used it, smoke filled the house and all the windows in the kitchen were locked and we could not figure out how to open them.
Be cautious of the thermostat!!! When we first arrived, there was a very ominous sign stating to not set the thermostat below 72* or “WE” the renter would be responsible for the damage “we” caused. The thermostat was set on 68* before we arrived. This was upsetting that we could have been held responsible for something before our arrival and we had no proof.
The MASSIVE cockroach from the previous review is still very much alive and well in the silverware drawer. We tried to be heros and take down the beast but he was very elusive.
Be cautious of the burs embedded in the rugs/carpet from the plants outside, my husband stepped on one and it stuck firmly in his foot.
Bed was tolerable, VERY firm and well worn. We tested the other bed in the other room and it was very hammocked in the center but slightly softer.
Windows could have used a good clean, we opened the blinds to let the sun in and they were covered in so much salt that we could not see out of them.
