Doug's place, in a nutshell, was amazing. The location, the beach culture, amenities, and neighbors ( for the most part) were great. I definitely recommend staying here.... however there were a few issues to note:
1) Cleanliness: the floors were dirty, and there were no cleaning supplies for us to address this ( no broom or mop).
2) Furniture: the living area needs a dining table. Eating in your lap is not ideal for a trip with kids. The living room furniture also needs some updating.
3) The toilet bowl handle is either broken, or isn't made for that toilet well. We had to open up the top well, and manually trigger a toilet flush on many uses.
4) Communication: when I informed doug of points 1 and 3, doug was silent until it was time to check out. Before that, communication was super consistent... after, dead silence.
5) We were thoroughly harassed by a neighbor living in 735 Whiting Court, right across the alley. This a-hole threatened to weapon-ize the cops against us. He was a middle aged white male, and we were a majority people of color group. I think an idiot can see how that would have ended.
Should these issues be fixed, this listing will turn into a home-run.
