The view and location is the main reason to book this place! You literally cannot go wrong in those departments! It’s so nice to wake up and be on the bay, go for a walk along the path out front, go in and out to the water, walk to Starbucks, walk to Belmont park, etc. We have two small children so even being able to walk to the park each morning was so great! There were lots of beach toys for the kids to play with and chairs available! Wish there was an umbrella to use for some shade on the beach!
As far as the house, not sure you exactly get what you pay for. Do not get me wrong, the house is great.. but somethings mentioned are not accurate. There is NOT AC through the entire house. There are 3 units (one in the living room, one in the master and one in the guest room). It can get kind of muggy in the kitchen and bathroom when cooking or getting ready. The AC was not on when we arrived so we walked into an 85 degree house. Not ideal. It took hours to cool down. The parking will not fit a large SUV without you having to park sideways (not the way the pictures suggest - also due to trash cans being in the way)! The floors were not the cleanest. Our feet stayed black the entire time. My 9 month old had black knees from crawling around. I had to wash my feet every night before I got into bed. The floors seemed to have been somewhat vacuumed, but obviously not mopped. My 2 year old found two pills in the master bedroom floor upon our arrival. THANKFULLY it was only omeprezole. But that tells me, again, it wasn’t thoroughly cleaned (which is why they told us we couldn’t even check in an hour early). Our 2 year old also found rocks in the mail slot inside the house behind the front door, in which he was then playing with rocks in the house. Apparently previous kids that had stayed had been putting them in there. We wanted to utilize the master closet to put our kids pack&play in but there’s zero outlets near or even any in reach to use in the master. They are all located behind the headboard. On our last day, checkout is at 10am.. at 9:30 the cleaning crew was awkwardly standing outside waiting on us to leave and unloading their supplies. If this is their normal show up time I can’t imagine it takes 6 hours to clean a 2 bedroom house (that wasn’t even clean). I’m sorry but for paying $2700 for 4 nights, I expected top notch. What you’re paying for, is definitely location!
