First, I will say the property manager was very nice. She purchased a nice grill so we could cook out, as well as a coffee pot, albeit only a four-cup maker, since we don’t use cold press coffee. I will also say that all of us range in age from 68 to 76, on fixed incomes, and expected a little more quality for the price.
The house is cute, but it definitely needs some updating and upkeep when you’re paying $1,000+ for the week.
Living space: The living room was HOT until my 68-year-old brother fixed the vent and allowed the cold air from the air conditioner to get through. The furniture in the living room and TV room is really uncomfortable, so I ended up in bed reading due to pain. The sectional sofa in the living room should have been in the TV room to allow the family to be in the same room to enjoy TV together.
Bathroom: The lighting in the guest bath is terrible. I am tall and ended up standing at the window in the bedroom for the sunlight to put on make-up. The light in the dark, little shower was not working, and there was nothing to help avoid slipping in the shower/tub. It’s especially dangerous for seniors, which we all are.
Bedrooms: There are zero dressers or bedside tables in the bedrooms, only little slats of wood mounted on the walls on each side of the beds, without even enough space for to charge your cell phones, clocks, iPads, etc. One of the closets in the bedrooms was locked for, “. . . storing cleaning supplies,” so the closets had to be shared. In the main bedroom, the louvre closet door wasn’t even mounted.
Screened porch: Yes, there is a screened porch, which would’ve been nice, but there is no real lighting to be able to enjoy using the porch in the evening when it got cooler outside, but it definitely needs a ceiling fan. It is, after all, Florida.
