The house is lovely and located not far from the beach or shops.
There was a lot of communication during the stay about rules and warning of fees if not followed, slightly off putting over a Christmas break that you’re celebrating with your daughters after the death of your husband a months earlier. Also, the house rules that you agree to online were different to those in the house. For example, the house rules online say nothing about pets, other than pet friendly, but the rules in the house say no dogs on bed, which you read after you arrive. For context, my daughter is autistic and our dog calms her when she sleeps.
It felt like the cleaners were rushed before arriving as the windows were filthy at the back (sliding door) and inside the fridge was dirty, glasses were wet and had lip marks on them, the sofa was gritty, but given it’s a pet friendly place, I guess you get that. I’d taken photos of the back sliding door to show how dirty it was. The fly screen wire was also lose at the bottom as shown in my photos. Not long after we left we were told we were going to be charged for the fly screen wire being loose. This left a sour taste in my mouth.
I was also messaged on the way there to say the cleaners were running late so they wanted to check what time I was arriving. I said there was no worries and I didn’t mind if they were there when I arrived.
So, it’s a nice place, modern and great aircon, but take a photo of everything so you don’t get blamed. Last thing I need is disputes over loose fly screen wire after dealing with my husbands death and during the Christmas holidays.
