Lovely house and location but had not been cleaned properly. I am not a finicky housewife, a bit of dirt hurts no one, but this was unpleasantly dirty. One of the beds had not been changed, the floor in kitchen and living room was sticky and had coffee/wine stains that we washed off, the table cloth was stained, crumpled and covered in crumbs, the hot tub was unusable until we had spent a few hours cleaning it. A pair of dirty socks were under the bed. The number for the caretaker listed on the wall was incorrect and not the same as in the email.
We did contact the owner who apologized for the condition. She said in future she may ask caretaker to just leave clean sheets stacked on bed so renters could make their own beds knowing sheets were clean. She did not mention the dirty hot tub which was one of the main reasons for us choosing Seastar.
We did not allow the state of the place to spoil our family get together. The location was perfect.
We would not rent this property again. If it were given a full cleaning between renters and the hot tub properly maintained, it would be amazing.
