If the place had been clean we would not hesitate to book again... but it wasn’t.
Great location for any kind of traveler. Located within waking distance of several shops and restaurants as well as the beach.
Super easy check-in and there’s a long private driveway in which three cars fit.
Was well equipped except that there were no towels or bath mats and the bed linens could have been more fresh. The owner sent someone by to drop off towels when I inquired about them.
The house had hair, and crumbs and dirt from previous occupants. I notified the owner who said that the cleaner had a family emergency and that is why things were not clean, but the house needed more of a deep cleaning as well as a general cleaning as evidenced by the dirt, scuffs and food spatter on the walls. But due to the cleaners family emergency it wasn’t clean or disinfected which is a shame especially in these uncertain times.
I brought cleaner myself and did my best to clean and disinfect before my family arrived.
One of the bedrooms is actually in the master bedroom and might actually be a closet in which a bunk bed has been placed. The door to this is a curtain so there’s not much privacy... So technically the house has three bedrooms and the master has a huge bed and a closet with a bunk bed in it. Probably would work for parents and children but if you actually needed four bedrooms like we did then you might want to keep searching.
The neighborhood is gorgeous. The house is nice and there is so much to love about it but I was grossed out upon arrival because it wasn’t clean and after cleaning the place myself it was still hard for me to settle in and feel comfortable. The entire house should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before any new guests arrive.
Also, on the first day the water was turned off in the neighborhood in the evening to our surprise so we could not shower or use the toilets or wash our hands or anything that night. The owner says they were not aware of this being scheduled maintenance and it was due to a burst pipe in the street.
There were too many misfortunes and oversights during this stay for me to rate with 5 stars but if it had been clean I probably wouldn’t have any complaints at all. Maybe it was just a fluke as it seems there was a lot happening this weekend regarding the house and whoever is supposed to maintain it.
